ISLAMABAD: Pak-China Centre and International Islamic University Islamabad (IIUI) on Friday launched monthly 'Youlin' (Good Neighbours) during a ceremony at the Faisal Mosque Campus.

Speaking on the occasion, IIUI Rector Professor Fateh Muhammad Malik announced opening of China Studies Centre at the university.
A 22-member delegation from China, IIUI Acting President Sahibzada Sajidur Rehman, PML-Q leader Mushahid Hussain Sayed, President Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain, magazine editor Dushka Syed, Agha Murtaza Poya, Dr Khalid Masood and other scholars attended the event.

Pak-China Centre Chairman Senator Mushahid Hussain said the centre had originated from the IIUI and opening ceremony of 'Youlin' was also taking place on the same campus. He said IIUI is the institution that hosts the highest number of Chinese students in Pakistain. He said Pak-China Centre would fully cooperate with the IIUI for establishment of China Studies Centre.

Professor Malik appreciated Pak-China friendship, saying that Pak-China Centre means non-political and real friendship between the two countries, credit for which goes to Mushahid Hussain Sayed. He said Sayed has a clean personality and his endeavours are resulting into consolidation of Pak-China friendship.
