Federal Minister for Science & Technology Fawad Chaudhry has announced that the world’s two largest producers of solar panels are embarking on setting up the production plants in Pakistan. While China’s second-largest producers of electronic batteries will soon be setting up production plants in Pakistan to produce Lithium batteries. Even the buses running on Lithium batteries will be produced in Pakistan.
سیاسی تماشبینی میں اچھی خبریں تو کھو جاتی ہیں پھر بھی مجھے بہت خوشی کہ دینا کی دو بڑی کمپنیاں سولر پینل بنانے کے پلانٹس پاکستان میں لگا رہی ہیں اور چین کی بیٹری بنانیوالی دوسری بڑی کمپنی پاکستان میں Lithium بیٹری بنانے کا کارخانہ لگائے گی، بیٹری پر بسیں بھی پاکستان میں بنیں گی

The setup of solar panel production plants in Pakistan is expected to reduce the cost of alternative energy sources in Pakistan, scaling down the dependence on oil for energy production, and help address the adverse climatic effects from the burning of oil and other petroleum products for energy production.
Fawad Chaudhry, who was recently on a six-day official visit to China, informed his followers via a tweet on Monday. The social media users hailed the announcement and counted on the benefits of ramping up the renewable energy sources in Pakistan.

The Mohammed Bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence will open its doors on September 2020.
“UAE was the first country which established a proper ministry for artificial intelligence in 2017,” the minister told an Arab news outlet in a phone interview from China. Adding that “We have a lot to learn from the UAE. This AI university is an excellent initiative.”
