May 20, 2021
BEIJING, May 20 (INP): Pakistan and China jointly celebrated 2021 World Bee Day, says a report published by Gwadar Pro on Thursday.
To mark the 4th "World Bee Day" led by the United Nations, China Bee Products Association (CBPA) had held a themed exhibition in the China's city of Hangzhou.
Regarding the 70th anniversary of China-Pakistan diplomatic ties, Pakistan was invited as a special partner to participate in the activities. The Pakistani ambassador to China, Moin ul Haque, addressed a video speech at the event.
Haque congratulated CBPA for launching the exhibition. He said bees are a very important part of our nature.
Pakistan is promoting their farming and products related to the bee industry these years.
He added: “Pakistan and China are celebrating 70 years of diplomatic ties. I hope our relevant institutions can further collaborate together. This important activity of bee friendship delivers a very unique and smart concept.”
Since 2013, many local governments in China have chosen to develop beekeeping and successfully alleviated poverty.
CBPA told Gwadar Pro: “China is willing to share with Pakistan its experience and technology in large-scale beekeeping, nectar plant cultivation and bee species breeding to support the development of the honey industry in Pakistan.”
To raise awareness of the importance of pollinators, the threats they face and their contribution to sustainable development, UN designated 20 May as World Bee Day.
