BEIJING, Oct 24 (APP): Pakistan products were displayed at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization Agricultural Exhibition (SCO Life Hall) at the 27th Yangling Agricultural Hi-Tech Fair, in Yangling, Shaanxi province of China.

Pakistani products like grape-shaped jade, black tea, curry powder, jelly powder, rice, noodles, scarves and other exhibits from Pakistan were displayed at the annual promotion and exhibition for agricultural development.

“I come to the fair every year, and bring Pakistani products to the customers here. However, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the products shipped from Pakistan are limited, so this year, we just showcase our products here,” Mansoor Ahmed Koondhar, head of the exhibition area of Pakistani products at SCO Life Hall told China Economic Net (CEN) on Saturday.

A special exhibition area – SCO Life Hall – has been opened on October 22 to expand economic and trade exchanges between China and SCO member countries and promote international agricultural technology exchanges and cooperation.

In addition, it gathers investment information, provides business matchmaking services, displays high-quality agricultural products, and promotes international exchanges and cooperation in agriculture with SCO member states.

Eight SCO member countries, including Pakistan, Kazakhstan and Russia, have been invited to participate in the exhibition at the SCO Life Hall, and it will be open to the public all year round after the fair.

In the future, beef, flour and other agricultural products may be imported. Currently, compared with other countries, there are not many Pakistani products.

Therefore, we expect more high-quality agricultural products, such as Pakistan mango, as well as Pakistan SCO Gift Pack, to be introduced, said Zhang Xingwei, a staff member of the operation and management department of Yang Ling Modern Agriculture International Cooperation Co., Ltd., which is responsible for the construction and operation for the SCO Life Hall.

As for how to introduce Pakistani products to the SCO Life Hall and whether rent is needed, “It is rent-free. If the suppliers want to market and sell their products here, they are welcome. We will pay them after the products are sold,” said Zhang.

Commenting on Yangling Agricultural Hi-Tech Fair, Abdul Ghaffar, a Pakistani student studying at Northwest A&F University said, “I come from Pakistan and this is my second visit to the fair. It is very practical. Pakistan imports rice seeds from China. Pakistani farmers have gained a lot from hybrid rice cultivation in the past 20 years, as the per acre yield goes higher. The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor can promote the development of agriculture and industry in Pakistan.”

Another Pakistani student Abdul Kareem, also studying at Northwest A &F University said, “That’s really a great experience for us. There is a lot of new technology and instrument regarding agriculture. Thank you so much, China, for arranging such kind of things for international students to learn. Agriculture is being a main GDP sector in Pakistan. So we are working on agriculture sector.”

The China Yangling Agricultural Hi-tech Fair will continue till October 26 in the Yangling agricultural hi-tech industrial demonstration zone. Established in 1994, the fair is one of the largest and most influential events dealing with agricultural science in China.

Pakistan has achieved another proud milestone in its space journey with the successful launch of the PRSE-EO2 satellite into orbit. This achievement reflects Pakistan’s growing strength in science, technology, and national capability, proving that the country is steadily advancing in modern space development.

The PRSE-EO2 satellite is designed to support Pakistan in multiple critical areas, including earth observation, mapping, environmental monitoring, and national development planning. With this satellite in space, Pakistan will be able to improve its ability to collect accurate data for agriculture, water management, urban planning, disaster monitoring, and climate-related challenges.

This success is a strong reminder that space technology is no longer a luxury—it is a necessity for nations that want to grow in the modern world. Satellites play an important role in helping countries manage their resources, respond to natural disasters, and strengthen national security through better monitoring and planning.

The successful launch of PRSE-EO2 also sends a positive message to Pakistan’s youth. It shows that Pakistan has the talent and potential to compete in advanced fields such as aerospace engineering, satellite technology, and artificial intelligence-driven systems. Such achievements inspire young minds to pursue careers in science and innovation, strengthening the country’s future.

Pakistan’s progress in space technology is not only a matter of national pride but also a strategic step toward long-term development. As the world becomes more data-driven, satellite-based information will be a powerful tool for smarter governance and faster progress.

The launch of PRSE-EO2 proves one clear reality: Pakistan is not standing still. Pakistan is moving forward. And with each successful mission, the nation strengthens its position as a country capable of innovation, modern research, and high-tech achievement.

This moment is a victory for Pakistan’s scientists, engineers, and institutions—and a hopeful sign for the future of a stronger, smarter, and more advanced Pakistan.

Kashmir Day: A Voice for Dignity, Peace, and Justice

Published

By

Every year on 5th February, Pakistan observes Kashmir Day to express solidarity with the people of Jammu and Kashmir. For many, it is a national tradition. But for those who understand the human reality behind the issue, it is far more than that. Kashmir Day is a reminder that millions of people still live with uncertainty, restrictions, and a future that remains unresolved.

As AikQaum, we believe Kashmir is not simply a political dispute. It is a human story. Behind every news report are families, children, students, and ordinary people who want what every human being wants: safety, dignity, and a peaceful life. Kashmir Day matters because silence does not reduce suffering. When the world stops speaking about Kashmir, the pain does not disappear—it only becomes less visible.

For Pakistan, Kashmir is an emotional and moral responsibility. It is tied to shared history, shared identity, and a deep sense of connection. But this responsibility must be carried with wisdom. Support for Kashmir should not be expressed through hatred or extreme language. It should be expressed through dignity, truth, and consistent advocacy based on human rights and international principles.

In today’s world, the Kashmir issue is also a battle of narratives. Misinformation spreads quickly, and emotional reactions often replace facts. This is where Pakistan’s youth have a powerful role. Young Pakistanis can support Kashmir by sharing verified information, raising awareness responsibly, and keeping the conversation alive in a way that the world can respect. A cause becomes stronger when it is represented with discipline and humanity.

Kashmir Day also reminds Pakistan of the importance of unity. A divided nation cannot carry a moral cause effectively. If Pakistan wants the world to listen, Pakistan must first stand together. Unity is not only a national value—it is a strategic necessity.

To the people of Kashmir, AikQaum’s message is clear: you are not forgotten. Your voices matter. Your courage is respected. Your future is important. Pakistan’s solidarity is not limited to one day; it is a long-term commitment rooted in conscience and shared humanity.

Kashmir Day is ultimately a day of conscience. It is a reminder that justice must be pursued with patience, wisdom, and peace. At AikQaum, we stand with Kashmir—firmly, respectfully, and with the belief that no people should remain unheard forever.
