BEIJING, China, Sept. 10, 2025 /Xinhua-AsiaNet/– The 2nd Pakistan-China B2B Investment Conference & High-Level Symposium on China-Pakistan Industry-Education Integration in Vocational Education was held in Beijing. The conference was attended by Pakistani Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif and Muhammad Aamir Jan, Executive Director of NAVTTC, Pakistan. Liu Fuyu, deputy party secretary and president of Shandong Vocational College of Science and Technology (SDVCST), was invited to attend on behalf of the college and officially signed a strategic cooperation agreement with NAVTTC.

During the conference, the organizers hosted a university round table themed “Human-Machine Collaboration, Embarking on a New Journey of Intelligence.” Xu Xiaoyan, vice president and member of the Party Committee, SDVCST, delivered a keynote speech on behalf of the college.

The conference, approved by the Cabinet of the Federal Government of Pakistan and officially endorsed and supported by NAVTTC, aimed to implement the important consensus reached between China and Pakistan on deepening vocational education cooperation, promote the building of a China-Pakistan vocational education community, and advance the industry-education integration in vocational education between the two countries, thereby laying a solid talent foundation for bilateral economic, trade, and educational cooperation. Following the signing ceremony, both sides engaged in in-depth discussions on the concrete implementation of cooperation projects.

Looking ahead, SDVCST will, by leveraging the “Pakistan–Luban·Mozi College” as a platform, draw on its strong academic cluster in fashion design and technology to continuously advance China-Pakistan collaboration in curriculum resource sharing, joint construction of training bases, talent co-development, and faculty-student exchanges. These efforts seek to support the modernization of Pakistan’s vocational education system, provide localized talent and technical support for Chinese enterprises “going global,” and inject fresh momentum into the college’s pursuit of internationalized education.
