China helps agricultural development in countries involved in BRI

China and Pakistan recently established the Center for Agricultural and Biological Resources Research at Northwest A&F University, as part of China's bid to help countries involved in the Belt and Road Initiative develop their agriculture sectors.

The main task of the center is to strengthen cooperation and exchanges between the two sides in agricultural and biological resources, and to develop biology disciplines, according to Li Xingwang, Party secretary of the university.

Since the BRI was proposed by Chinese President Xi Jinping in 2013, the university, headquartered in Yangling, Northwest China's Shaanxi province, has been expanding joint efforts with universities in the respective countries to deepen cooperation on agricultural development, by employing its unique strengths.
