Pakistan Envoy Invites Investment in Dairy Sector

BEIJING , Aug. 10 (Gwadar Pro) — Pakistan’s Ambassador to China, Khalil Hashmi, visited Yili Group’s liquid milk and milk powder production facilities as well as its product display on Friday in Inner Mongolia, inviting the company to explore investment opportunities in Pakistan’s dairy sector.

During the visit, Ambassador Hashmi was briefed on Yili’s extensive operations, diverse product lines, and its vast distribution network. Yili, one of China’s leading dairy enterprises, has been at the forefront of applying cutting-edge technologies such as genetic testing, low-carbon cattle breeding, precision feed formulation, and advanced milk deep-processing.

The ambassador stated , “We discussed ways to join hands for mutually beneficial cooperation in the dairy field. I invited Yili’s senior leadership to participate in the Pakistan-China B2B Investment Conference in Beijing on September 4, 2025, during the Prime Minister’s visit.”

Yili’s research in high-quality pasture cultivation, methane emission reduction in dairy farming, and functional dairy nutrition aligns with Pakistan’s goals of modernizing its agriculture and dairy industry. By integrating Yili’s expertise with Pakistan’s rich livestock resources, the two countries can work towards developing high-yield, environmentally friendly, and value-added dairy products.

Industry experts believe that collaboration in dairy technology, breeding, and processing between Pakistan and Yili could contribute to food security, rural income generation, and sustainable agricultural practices in line with the China–Pakistan Economic Corridor’s agricultural cooperation agenda.
