In order to turn the dry area of Gwadar, the “shining pearl” of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, green, scientists from China and Pakistan are cultivating a variety of plants that may adapt to the local conditions.
There have been over 100,000 fig, date, orchid, banana, and date seedlings grown thus far as part of the Belt and Road Engineering Research Center for Tropical Arid Non-wood Forest.
The research facility in Gwadar is currently hosting an increase in Sino-Pak cooperation. Universities from Pakistan, such as the University of Agriculture Faisalabad, the Indus University, and the University of Karachi (KU), have taken part in the study.
