In an interview with CGTN Digital reporter Shen Shiwei, Ahsan Iqbal, Pakistan's minister for planning, development and special initiatives, has praised the SCO's role in advancing green development, which resonates with the theme of this year's SCO summit in Tianjin. "I hope that under the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), we will be able to further promote cooperation between Pakistan and member states and particularly China to learn from the best practices of new seeds development, modernizing agriculture to mitigate the risks and the dangers of climate change," he said.
