Chinese companies pledge prosperous future for Pakistani youth: Ambassador Jiang stated as he attended a Job Fair in Islamabad. China has offered employment avenues for Pakistan to ensure economic stability and prosperity of its ‘iron brother.’
These views were expressed by Ambassador of China, Mr Jiang Zaidong while addressing a job fair organized by the National Vocational and Technical Training Commission (NAVTTC) in collaboration with China Chamber of Commerce in Pakistan (CCCPK). Thousands of the Pakistani youth attended the event and submitted their CVs to Chinese companies. Minister of State Wajiha Qamar also visited the stalls.
Federal Minister for Education & Professional Training, Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui was the Chief Guest on the occasion. Minister of State for Education and Professional Training Wajiha Qamar, Chairperson NAVTTC Gulmina Bilal and Director General NAVTTC Haider Abbas also addressed the forum.
The Chinese ambassador was happy to share that at the job fair around 500 skilled Pakistani youth were offered jobs, while over 3,000 applications were submitted.
In order to promote stable relations between Pakistan and China, Chinese companies will provide job opportunities to Pakistani youth, the Chinese ambassador said.
An agreement was also signed between the Chinese company Thang International and Pakistani vocational institute to provide IT and digital training. Federal Minister for Education Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui was also present at the event.
The Chinese Ambassador welcomed this partnership between the Pakistani and the Chinese skill-providing centres and stated that if Pakistan provided a favorable environment to the Chinese companies, they will play an important role in the country’s development. He noted that over 60pc of Pakistan’s population consists of youth, which is a demographic bonus for the country.
China is committed to offering employment to Pakistani youth, which will enhance bilateral relations. The Chinese ambassador was of the view that China had more than 11,000 vocational institutions that trained around 10 million skilled individuals annually. Pakistani youth should enter the fields of science and technology, where opportunities are abundant. China will assist Pakistan through cooperation in education, science and technology, and human resource development.
He reiterated that Pakistani youth were a great asset to the country.
Federal Minister Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui while welcoming the Chinese ambassador’s remarks said that Pakistan-China friendship was a symbol of regional prosperity and stability.
China is an emerging global power, while Pakistan is passing through a critical phase.
Wajiha Qamar said that this job fair is more than an event — it is a declaration that Pakistani skilled youth are exceptionally talented. “Our youth are not job seekers; they are future makers,” she added. Pakistan is a land of resilience and courage.
The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is not just a road — it defines a destination. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif envisions that a skilled Pakistan will be the foundation of a soaring Pakistan.
We can only strengthen our economy by creating a skilled workforce.
President of the China Chamber of Commerce, Wang Huihua, stated that power, construction, and IT companies in Pakistan were offering job opportunities to youth, which had been made possible through NAVTTC’s efforts. Pakistani institutions can collaborate with Chinese technical institutions to create a skilled labor force and generate thousands of job opportunities. Many Chinese companies already operating in Pakistan are providing employment to local youth.
Chinese Economic Counsellor Yang Guoyuan remarked that it was the first time such a job fair was organized in Pakistan, where Chinese companies actively offered jobs to Pakistani youth.
Chairperson NAVTTC Gulmina Bilal termed the Chinese companies’ participation a watershed moment for the Pakistani youth in skill-training. She stated that 20 vocational institutions in Karachi had already signed agreements with the Chinese company Thang to skill Pakistani youth in the IT and digital sectors. Under this agreement, “smart labor” will be developed.
