ISLAMABAD, Dec 02 (APP):Federal Minister for Interior and Narcotics Control Mohsin Naqvi paid a surprise visit to Lahore Airport on Monday to review passenger facilitation and the efficiency of immigration procedures.

During the visit, the minister inspected the immigration counters and observed the system linking passengers’ travel history with their identity cards and passports. He commended the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) Director and his team for implementing a faster, streamlined system.

Naqvi interacted with passengers departing for and arriving from foreign destinations, inquiring about the time taken and the overall experience of the immigration process. Passengers expressed satisfaction, noting that the entire procedure was completed in just two minutes. They told the minister that his repeated visits had noticeably improved airport services.

Mohsin Naqvi made it clear that no passenger with complete and valid travel documents is being stopped—nor will be stopped—from traveling. However, he stressed that those carrying incomplete or forged documents will not be allowed to leave the country under any circumstances.

“Pakistan’s dignity is our collective dignity. Anyone whose actions may bring disrepute to the country cannot be permitted to travel,” the minister stated.

FIA Director Ali Zia and other senior officials were also present during the visit.

NANJING, Dec 2 (Xinhua/APP): A new all-cargo air route linking Nanjing in east China’s Jiangsu Province and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, commenced operations on Sunday, marking an expansion of Nanjing’s global freight network.

Operated by Malaysia’s Raya Airways, a B767-200 freighter carrying over 38 tonnes of goods depart from Nanjing Lukou International Airport for Kuala Lumpur on an over five-hour flight.

Outbound flights primarily transport textiles, electronic components and cross-border e-commerce goods. Inbound flights are set to carry fresh Southeast Asian produce like mud crabs and chilled fish.

Nanjing Lukou International Airport currently operates seven international all-cargo routes, including services to Amsterdam, Mexico City and Seoul.

The new Kuala Lumpur link is expected to strengthen Nanjing’s air cargo connectivity with Southeast Asia, and will provide a more efficient logistics channel for cross-border e-commerce enterprises in Nanjing and its surrounding areas.

HANGZHOU, Dec 2 (Xinhua/APP): An 843-megawatt gas turbine was officially connected to the grid on late Sunday in east China’s Zhejiang Province, after completing a 168-hour full-load trial run.

The unit, the first of two at the China Energy Investment Corporation Co., Ltd. plant in Anji County, achieves a remarkable efficiency rate of 64.15 percent, representing an approximately 17-percentage-point increase over conventional million-kilowatt coal-fired units.

Shen Chengliang, a manager at Huzhou branch of the State Grid Zhejiang Electric Power Co., Ltd., said that the turbine units, once fully operational, will generate up to 7 billion kWh of electricity annually, sufficient for the power supply of 6 million residents, strengthening the local power grid with low-carbon electricity.

Low-carbon power generation is a key driver of China’s strategy to meet its dual carbon goals — to peak carbon emissions by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2060.
