Shehzad Ahmed Khan, Consul General of Pakistan in Shanghai, visited IBI to promote a new chapter in cross-border cooperation of industrial zones.

On December 11, the Consul General of Pakistan in Shanghai, Sheikh Zahid Ahmad Khan, visited IBI. He held discussions with IBI founder and chairman Liu Quan, IBI Senior Vice President, and TDDCEO Liu Zhai, focusing on topics such as "Belt and Road" industrial collaboration, cross-border supply chain services, cooperation in the auto parts and cold chain packaging industries, and discussing digital cooperation opportunities under the high-quality development of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor.

The visiting delegation toured the Digital Economy Exhibition Hall, learning about IBI's current operating model for the Duoduo platform, cross-border operation strategies for industrial belts, and the technological applications and practical strategies of IBI Cloud. Consul General Sheikh Zade Ahmed Khan stated that the Pakistani government is making every effort to promote the "Pakistan 2030 Vision," which focuses on industrialization and digital economic transformation. The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor has opened up vast opportunities for industrial cooperation between the two countries. Pakistan has a solid foundation in areas such as automobile manufacturing and agricultural product processing, with strong demand for high-quality automotive components and modern cold chain packaging technology and equipment.He suggested that both sides could focus on deep cooperation in the integration of automotive parts supply chains and the upgrade of cold chain technology, while jointly exploring ways to leverage Pakistan's geographic and free trade agreement advantages to extend cooperation results to the Middle Eastern market, including Saudi Arabia, achieving mutual benefits for all three parties.

Liu Quan stated: IBI is prioritizing the development of industrial belts for cross-border expansion as the company's "third growth curve". It has successfully established multiple cross-border projects in several countries along the "Belt and Road", such as Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. During the visit of the Pakistani Prime Minister to China in September this year, the company was fortunate to participate in related activities and engage in in-depth exchanges with the Prime Minister, expressing strong confidence in the Pakistani market. The company hopes to use this meeting as an opportunity to accelerate the planning and implementation of the "IBI Pakistan Digital Economy Headquarters", using it as a fulcrum to deeply integrate industrial resources from both countries. Additionally, the company is willing to fully utilize the role of the industrial internet platform as a bridge to provide one-stop digital supply chain services for cross-border cooperation in automotive, cold chain, building materials, and other sectors for more Sino-Pakistani enterprises, contributing digital strength to the high-quality joint construction of the "Belt and Road".

TDD Vice President, General Manager of Cross-Border Strategic Planning, Kadir, and TDD Vice President, General Manager of TDD Global, Daniel, jointly participated in this exchange.
