The groundbreaking ceremony for Unit 5 (C-5) of the Chashma Nuclear Power Plant in Pakistan was held on July 14, local time. This is the third one-million-kilowatt-class unit of Hualong One, China's self-developed third-generation nuclear power technology, exported from China to Pakistan. It also marks China's seventh nuclear power unit exported to Pakistan, another milestone in nuclear energy cooperation between the two countries.
The construction of the C-5 nuclear power project will further enhance Pakistan's energy security, promote economic development, and improve the well-being of the local people. It also has significant importance in building a closer China-Pakistan partnership with a shared future in the new era.
The successful and timely operation of the first batch of four Hualong One units exported by China worldwide stands as a remarkable testament of the safety, advancement, maturity, and cost-effectiveness of China's third-generation nuclear power technology.
At the ceremony, China and Pakistan reached a consensus on enhancing collaboration across the entire industry chain and achieving mutual benefit and win-win results.
