A delegation led by Zemir Ahmed Awan, Founding Chair of the Global Silk Route Research Alliance (GSRRA), Deputy Director of the China Study Centre (CSC) of the National University of Sciences & Technology (NUST), Pakistan, and former science and education counselor of the Pakistani Embassy in China, visited the Secretariat of the Zhongguancun Global High-level Think Tank Alliance (hereinafter referred to as ZGCTA) for an exchange on June 18. Li Junkai, ZGCTA Secretary-General and Director of the International and Regional Cooperation Center of the Beijing Academy of Science and Technology (BJAST), presided over the meeting.

Li Junkai warmly welcomed Zemir Ahmed Awan and his delegation, and briefly introduced BJAST and ZGCTA. And Zemir Awan briefed that NUST, a prestigious institution of higher learning committed to S&T innovation and international cooperation, has accumulated rich academic resources and built extensive research networks in many fields. As an important think tank platform with a focus on studying the Belt and Road Initiative and its impact on BRI parter countries, GSRRA has provided significant intellectual support for regional cooperation and development, which is further demonstrated by its application to join ZGCTA submitted in April 2025.

The two sides had a lively discussion on jointly hosting events and strengthening cultural and people-to-people exchanges. As this effectively enhances mutual trust and understanding, a solid foundation has been put into place for in-depth cooperation.

The backbone team of ZGCTA Secretariat participated in the discussion.
