On April 20th, 2015, during his visit to Pakistan, Chinese President XI Jinping unveiled for 8 China-Pakistan Cooperative Projects together with Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, among which, the "China-Pakistan Joint Research Center for Small Hydropower" is the one being implemented by HRC.

Dating back to February 2014, in the witness of the presidents of both China and Pakistan, a MOU on establishing "China-Pakistan Joint Research Center on Small Hydropower" was signed between the Ministry of Science and Technology of China and Pakistan in Beijing on the basis of equality and mutual benefit, which is to be taken as a platform for high-level joint research, know-how exchange and personnel training as well as capacity-building of Pakistan, so as to enhance the cooperation in the field of small hydropower (SHP) in a long-term and steady way. Under the great support of the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Ministry of Water Resources of China, HRC signed a cooperative agreement with Pakistan Council of Renewable Energy Technologies (PCRET), focusing on the details for the project implementation. Presently, the project is carried out smoothly, with the fulfillment of R+D on the simulation model and the software of a hybrid power-generation system with SHP and PV, as well as trial-manufacture of the high and low-voltage automatic control systems and the container-type SHP equipment. In near future, the installation of E/M equipment, on-site commissioning, capacity building, training of professionals and promotion conference are to be carried out, thus strengthening the local capacity for SHP development in Pakistan.

Inspired by this unveiling ceremony, HRC will take his expertise advantage in SHP field, closely follow the strategies of "One Belt and One Road" and "China-Pakistan Economic Corridor", and continuously make his unremitting efforts to promote the renewable energy development in Pakistan, and contribute more to the consolidation of traditional friendship between China and Pakistan as well.
