BEIJING: Enhanced Sino-Pak cooperation in irrigation sector is needed: Says Chinese experts, according to China Economic Net (CEN).
The experts noted that the International Monetary Fund, Pakistan has been ranked third among countries facing acute water shortage. The availability of water is only compounded by the conventional and highly wasting way of irrigation.
To resolve this issue, Pakistan has tried to export advanced irrigation products and technologies from overseas to empower the agriculture sector, the mainstay of the Pakistani economy.

Due to successful pilots of the project, bilateral cooperation was expanded to research institutes.
