Pakistan, China ink technology transfer pact as Pakistani experts will be assisted with specialized training in line with modern industrial demands.
A significant five-year pact has been inked between China and Pakistan to promote technology transfer and professional training in line with current global standards.
The deal, signed between the Guangdong Shoe-Making Machinery Association, a Chinese state-affiliated body, and the Pakistan Industrial Sewing Machines Importers and Dealers Association (PISMIDA), aims to enhance Pakistan’s leather, footwear, and garment machinery industries through the introduction of advanced technology and equipment, said PISMIDA Vice Chairman Muhammad Yaseen on Monday.
As part of the collaboration, Pakistani technicians will undergo specialized training tailored to modern industrial demands, boosting local expertise in handling and operating sophisticated machinery.
The agreement also places a strong emphasis on innovation in the manufacturing of leather and garment products, positioning Pakistan for greater competitiveness in international markets. Yaseen represented Pakistan at the ‘JISMA’ global exhibition in China, where he was honored as a special guest by the organizers.
At the exhibition, Yaseen held strategic discussions with global association leaders and commercial attachés to explore bilateral collaboration and future growth possibilities.
Calling it a landmark achievement, Yaseen stated that the agreement will yield widespread benefits for various Pakistani industries. He announced that after Eidul Azha, sessions will be organized with key sector stakeholders to explain the agreement’s advantages and how to capitalize on them.
Yaseen noted that the accord prioritizes strategic collaboration, long-term alliances, expert exchanges, and joint efforts in technology, skill-building, and industrial operations.
It also targets identifying mutual market opportunities in both countries to foster shared industrial growth. If Pakistani industries adopt these advanced technologies, production quality and efficiency can rise significantly, leading to a surge in exports, he added. With government backing, the initiative could ignite a technology-driven transformation in Pakistan’s manufacturing landscape and vocational education system.
