ISLAMABAD, (APP – UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News – 1st Sep, 2026) Chairman Prime Minister’s Youth Programme (PMYP) Rana Mashhood Ahmed Khan on Tuesday called for deeper Pakistan-China cooperation in education, skills, employment, technology and youth exchanges during a meeting with Chinese Charge d’Affaires Shi Yuanqiang at the Prime Minister’s Office. He proposed a dedicated Chinese Universities Education Expo and structured collaboration on the National Youth Employment Policy to create more opportunities for Pakistani youth.
Rana Mashhood welcomed Mr. Shi and the Chinese delegation, stressing that stronger people-to-people and youth-to-youth engagement was essential to further strengthen the longstanding “iron brother” relationship between Pakistan and China.
He said Pakistani youth had a strong interest in pursuing higher education in China and proposed holding a Chinese Universities Education Expo in Pakistan. The expo could bring Chinese universities and Pakistani students together, allowing institutions to showcase academic programs, scholarships, and admission opportunities.
Mr. Khan said Pakistan wanted to expand cooperation with China in culture, technology, research, education, and skills development to create meaningful opportunities for young people.
He highlighted the establishment of PMYP secretariats in China as a reflection of growing institutional engagement between the two countries in the youth sector. He appreciated China’s advanced technology and capabilities as an important element of bilateral cooperation.
Referring to growing collaboration in the space sector, Mr. Rana noted that Pakistan’s first astronaut was expected to join China’s space station by the end of the year, describing it as another significant milestone in cooperation in science, technology, and space.
Mr. Shi described Pakistan-China relations as unique and longstanding, reiterating that the two countries were “iron brothers”. He emphasized the need to broaden youth exchanges in culture, technology, research, and other fields to promote greater interaction and mutual understanding.
The Chinese diplomat appreciated PMYP’s Digital Youth Hub (DYH), particularly its role in bringing diverse opportunities for young people onto a single platform. He said the platform offered a comprehensive mechanism for connecting young people with opportunities.
Mr. Shi expressed interest from the Chinese side in exploring greater participation by Chinese universities, companies, development organizations, and private sector partners through the Digital Youth Hub to expand opportunities for Pakistani youth.
Rana Mashhood briefed the delegation on PMYP’s flagship initiatives under its 4Es framework – Education, Employment, Entrepreneurship, and Engagement.
