Beijing Genomics Institute (BGI) is set to establish structured collaboration frameworks aimed at promoting training programs for young scientists and researchers from Pakistan. The institute has also expressed its commitment to providing technological support to improve health infrastructure and diagnostics. 

During his visit to BGI’s headquarters in Shenzhen, China, on June 16, Qaiser Nawab, Chairman of the Belt and Road Initiative for Sustainable Development (BRISD), explored opportunities for cooperation in health, biotechnology, and scientific capacity building between the two countries. 

During the visit, Nawab was warmly received by Mao Zhixia, Senior Official at BGI and head of South Asia affairs. Mao provided a comprehensive overview of BGI’s evolution—from its modest beginnings to becoming the world’s largest genomics research institution. He highlighted BGI’s groundbreaking work in gene sequencing, health diagnostics, precision medicine, and pandemic response. 

Both sides held in-depth discussions on the future of global health innovation and expressed strong interest in forging closer partnerships. Nawab emphasized BRISD’s commitment to inclusive and sustainable development through science and technology, particularly by empowering young scientists in the Global South.
