Propagation of Chinese Language

Mr. Murad Ali Shah also insisted on the propagation of Chinese language. He directed the representatives of STEVTA to make provisions for the introduction of courses in the Chinese language. CPEC (China-Pakistan Economic Corridor) will bring in numerous Chinese investors to Sindh and proficiency in the Chinese language will be an added advantage in the future.
