There was a consensus between the two sides that the promotion of technical education was a pre-requisite to the much-needed Gross Development Production growth.

They also agreed to hold regular meetings for curricula review keeping in view the requirement of the industry.

This primary objective of this venture is to promote technical and vocational education among the laborers working in CPEC's Special Economic Zones (SEZs) and the rest of the industry.

Mian Kashif Ashfaq said it was high time that industrialists should avail themselves of facilities being offered by GCUF.

He said the GCUF would ensure provision of rightly skilled manpower to the local industry, but the industry would also have to do the needful as the technical authority needed proper and consistent support from our business community to start new projects and new courses.

He said well trained manpower not only reduces the cost of production but also play a vital role in achieving the desired and required economic goals as it would lead to quality production, which ultimately would create global demand.
