‘Pakistan has potential to achieve sustained economic growth’

 In a recent exchange with students at the National University of Modern Languages (NUML), the Chinese Ambassador Jiang Zaidong reflected on his journey from student life to diplomatic service, shared insights on Pakistan-China relations, and offered words of encouragement to young Pakistanis aspiring to shape their country’s future.

When asked if his visit reminded him of his youth, the Ambassador expressed gratitude, saying, “Thanks for the invitation, which gave me the chance to return to a university campus. I am especially touched to see the energy and vitality among you.”

He reminisced about university life, describing it as a transformative time filled with both struggle and joy. Drawing on President Xi Jinping’s journey, he emphasised the importance of perseverance, stating, “Diligence is the path to the mountain of knowledge.” He urged students to cherish their time, push through challenges, and recognise the happiness found in hard work.
