BEIJING: Pakistan Ambassador to China Moin Ul Haque said that Pakistan would continue to work with China to improve the environment, promote low-carbon initiatives, and expand Pakistan’s Billion Tree Tsunami project.
The climate governance, low-carbon environmental protection, and animal protection areas are very close to the heart of Prime Minister Imran Khan, he said.
“We are working with the Chinese government to help us expand the Billion Tree Tsunami project,” he told China Economic Net (CEN).
Ambassador Moin stated that Prime Minister is one of those few leaders who have advocated global action and cooperation against climate change, adding that Pakistan is one of those few countries which hardly contribute to these carbon emissions.
“We are one of the most affected countries by climate change. So, this is also an important area of cooperation with China because China is a big country, but it has very ambitious targets of capping its commissions of carbon and zero carbon neutrality by 2060”, he added.
It is worth noting that China’s Government Work Report delivered at the opening of this year’s session of the 13th National People’s Congress in Beijing on March 5 also highlighted that China will take well-ordered steps to achieve peak carbon emissions and carbon neutrality.
