"The 14th Five-Year Plan has yielded remarkable results in areas such as space exploration, cyberspace, AI, advanced manufacturing and robotics," Pakistan Ambassador to China Khalil Hashmi said in a recent interview with China Daily.

Looking ahead to the next five years, Hashmi told China Daily that he believes China will place greater emphasis on high-quality development and modernization, with emerging technologies playing an even larger role.

"I see more and more immersion of new technologies, including AI, quantum computing and robotics. They are already here, but there will be more integration," the ambassador stated, adding that he is confident in China's future development prospects.
