Joining a short﹣term research program in China has not only allowed Pakistani agricultural scientist Sayyar Khan to push forward with his academic studies， but also given him a chance to see a country he had heard so much about．
Khan is now doing a one﹣year research program at the Beijing Academy of Agriculture and Forestry Sciences． The program is sponsored by the Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology， and many young talented scientists who come from collaborating countries， such as Pakistan， are given opportunities to work in China．
Although this is his first visit to China， Khan says he is well﹣informed of the long friendship between China and Pakistan． He is impressed most by the cooperation（合作）in education between China and Pakistan， especially since the start﹣up of the Belt and Road Initiative （"一带一路"建设）in2013．
"Many students from my university and my city have visited China and completed their higher education here． "he says， adding that he has met with many of them．
"I hear news about China on television and read about it in print media， so I know of the rapid development of China in recent decades．"
Khan says the Belt and Road Initiative will have a very positive effect on the world．
"I hope that I can stay in China to participate in such cooperation projects．"he says．Khan says life in Beijing is much easier than he'd expected， thanks to the convenient（便利的） public transportation and restaurants offering food for Muslims （穆斯林）． This encouraged him to bring his family to live with him a couple of months ago．
He says that language is the only challenge for them so far． However， he finds no problem talking with his Chinese colleagues， many of whom speak good English． He also enjoys the relaxing working environment and has a very good relationship with his co﹣workers．
