BEIJING: Pakistanis give us oil when there is a shortage of oil and supply us food when there is a shortage of food.
They always try their best to give a hand when Chinese faces difficulties and obstacles, said Yuan Jianmin, Counselor of the People’s Government of Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region and Vice President of the Xinjiang People’s Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries. In my opinion, where does the human community of common destiny start? It starts between the friendship of China and Pakistan. Having more than 30 years of friendship with Pakistan and crossing the China-Pakistan border for more than 270 times, Yuan Jianmin moves forward with his mission and always receives the selfless help and support from Pakistani military and civilians.
From participating in the boundary demarcation between China and Pakistan in the 1980s, to serving as the commander-in-chief of the earthquake rescue in northern Pakistan in 2005, and then crossing the Western Route of China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, there are countless stories between Yuan Jianmin and the neighboring country. Now he serves as the Counselor of the People’s Government of Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region and the Vice President of the Xinjiang People’s Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries.
On the 70th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Pakistan, China Economic Net conducted an exclusive interview with him.
At the border of Xinjiang and Pakistan, there is the highest pass in the world-the Khunjerab pass, which is located in the Pamirs and the Tashkurgan Tajik Autonomous County of Kashgar (hereinafter referred to as “Tajik county”).
It is the county that Yuan voluntarily go to help reconstruction of Xinjiang. After graduating from High School in Taizhou city, Jiangsu province in 1975, he decided to go to the most difficult place in China. – Agencie
