Agriculture Multan, senior engineers of the Punjab Agricultural Mechanization
Institute and advanced agricultural machinery users in Pakistan. Prof. Sun
Deling, former Vice President of Tianjin Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and
Prof. Zhang Baoqian, agricultural machinery expert at Tianjin Agricultural
Development Service Center, delivered keynote speeches on "Tianjin's
Agricultural Advantages and Scientific Research Achievements" and
