BEIJING, Dec.21 (inp) Pakistan is folllowing "knowledge-driven economy" and "innovation-driven economy",that is a welcomed step for the country's co-partners.

According to Chinese scholar Cheng Xinzong said Pakistan's Higher education institutions such as universities are the gathering place of talents and knowledge. To develop science and technology parks is a very visionary approach.

Teachers and students of higher education institutions will be able to develop technology independently in science and technology park, and the government can also assign scientific research projects to them.

At the same time, higher education institutions can establish cooperative relationship with industrial enterprises, transform scientific research results into scientific research products, which will generate economic benefits and further support the development of new technologies.

Definitely, the central government and local governments at all levels should constantly increase their investment in scientific research, especially in the annual budget of the central government, there should be reasonable ratio, and the ratio should be increased year by year according to the national financial situation.

Starting from early 1980s, China has developed a lot of science and technology parks all over the country. There are mainly three modes of Science and Technology Parks in China. The first is the government-led mode, that is, the government invests, develops and operates the parks.

The second is market-oriented mode, that is, enterprises and non-government research institutions play the leading role according to the requirement of the market. The third is the mixed mode, which is a kind of combination of government leading and market leading.

Pakistan may learn from the experience of the development of China's science and technology parks, but due to the different national conditions in Pakistan, China's practice should not be copied.

In the process of developing Science and Technology Parks in Pakistan, the governments, enterprises, universities and scientific research institutions of China and Pakistan can have cooperation.

However, specific cooperation matters should be discussed by relevant enterprises and scientific research institutions of the two countries, especially non-government enterprises and scientific research institutions.

Here I would like to emphasize that in the process of helping Pakistan, China hopes to see Pakistan's capacity of independence would be enhanced. Therefore, whether it's financial or technical issue, Pakistan should first try to rely on its own strength to fully mobilize the enthusiasm of all sectors of Pakistani society, he added according to Gwadar Pro APP.
