BEIJING: Prime Minister Imran Khan has said that environment policies of Pakistan government were being recognized globally.
“Since the outbreak of novel coronavirus pneumonia, I have been following the pandemic spread and the measures taken by the governments and people to combat the pandemic in South Asian countries. My impression is that Pakistan has done the best.”
These views were expressed by Cheng Xizhong, Visiting Professor at Southwest University of Political Science and Law, Senior Fellow of the Charhar Institute, former Defense Attache in South Asian countries in a statement here.
Pakistan has adopted a very scientific “smart lockdown” in the prevention and control of the pandemic. Therefore, the pandemic has been quickly and effectively controlled, and the economic recovery is the fastest, which has been unanimously recognized and highly appreciated by the international community, he added.
What is particularly commendable is that Pakistan government has launched green recovery programme from the Covid 19. According to the clean power generation target set by Pakistan government, the proportion of renewable will increase from the current 5% to 20% by 2025, and further increase to 30% by 2030. If hydropower is added, the proportion of renewables is expected to increase to 60% by 2030. He said, another very important point is that Pakistan government has worked out the climate action plan. – Agencies
