On June 19, Zhu Shanzhong, Vice Chairman of China National Tourism Administration met with Pakistan Minister for Tourism Maulana Atta-ur-Rehman and his party. The two sides exchanged their opinions on strengthening tourism cooperation between China and Pakistan.
First of all, Mr. Zhu, on behalf of China National Tourism Administration, expressed his warm welcome to the visit of Maulana Atta-ur-Rehman and his party. He remarked that China and Pakistan have a long history of friendly communication, and they are not only amiable neighbors, but also good brothers. The two countries have been offering mutual support in many major international affairs and their cooperation has extended to all fields. CNTA attaches great importance to intensifying tourism cooperation with Pakistan.
After briefly introducing the status quo of China’s tourism industry, Zhu said that the Chinese government has been actively promoting outbound tourism among Chinese citizens in the recent years.

Major tourism destinations across the world have, one after another, come to China for promotion, and we hope that Pakistan will pay more visits to launch its tourism promotion activities in China; hence the Chinese citizens will learn more about tourism resources of Pakistan.
