From June 4 to 8, the Prime Minister of Pakistan, Shehbaz Sharif, conducted an official visit to China. While in Beijing, he and his delegation visited the Haidian District.

During their visit, they watched a promotional video of Haidian District and explored the exhibition hall of the Zhongguancun National Independent Innovation Demonstration Zone Exhibition and Trading Center. The delegation showed a keen interest in the latest technological advancements and application scenarios in fields such as artificial intelligence, integrated circuits, and biomedicine. The Prime Minister was particularly intrigued by a humanoid’s dexterity, and even held its hand in fascination. This moment was captured by the photographer.

In an interview with People’s Daily, Shehbaz Sharif said, “China has achieved remarkable success in economic and technological development, which has benefited many countries, particularly developing countries, through open and inclusive international cooperation.” He added that the close and fruitful bilateral cooperation across various fields will pave the way for a promising future for Pakistan-China relations.
