Mr. Aziz lectured on "Pakistan's Vision for the Asian Century: Promoting Cooperation for Peace and Development", one of the greatest concerns of our time. The growing importance of Asian countries in shaping world affairs in the 21st century is a widely subscribed notion, given their emerging political and economic power. Within South Asia, Pakistan has a vital role to play. Prime Minister Aziz is therefore one of the most qualified individuals to speak on this topic. Before he became the Prime Minister of Pakistan, Mr. Aziz was a veteran banker. He is also currently the Minister of Finance of Pakistan. Under his leadership, the economy of Pakistan has experienced significant growth. With his extensive political and financial experience, Mr. Aziz will be able to share some valuable insights with participants at the lecture. It has become a common practice for the visiting head of state of government to lecture in a leading university of the host country. The Chinese University is delighted with the valuable opportunity to host the lecture of the Prime Minister of Pakistan during his visit to Hong Kong. This lecture added to the CUHK's initiatives to promote international links. Over the years, many famous academics and leaders in different fields from around the world have lectured at CUHK. By sharing their wisdom and accomplishments, they have enlightened not only students and staff, but also the Hong Kong public.
