A Chinese delegation expressed a great interest in establishing donkey farms in Pakistan on Saturday citing the country’s favorable environment for donkey breeding.
At a meeting between the National Minister of Food Security and Research, Rana Tanveer Hussain, and the vice president of the Donkey industry of China, Zhao Fei in Islamabad, the minister welcomed the interest and emphasized the interest and emphasized the strong relationship of the country with China, according to a press release.
He said the permission to establish donkeys would be granted under a formal agreement after complying with all legal requirements, adding that the agreement would clearly indicate that the reproduction of the local donkey population would not be affected.
The minister said that the Chinese industry would be allowed to establish farms in the Gwadar export processing zone, where slaughterhouses and export facilities would also be developed to allow the export of donkey to China using the Gwadar port.
He said that this initiative would contribute to promoting exports and strengthening commercial ties with China, and added that the promotion of the donkey industry would create new economic opportunities and employment.
A high -level meeting between the delegations of both sides in October last year agreed to the ‘Protocol on the quarantine requirements’ for the export of donkey meat to China.
In July of last year, the additional secretary by the Ministry of Commerce, Ahsan Ali Mangi, informed the committee that the protocol of the donkey skins had been completed and that the ministry also planned to include donkey meat in the list.
