BEIJING: In hopes of further expanding the existing people-to-people contacts between China and Pakistan, a Chinese entrepreneurs association has called for further enhancing contacts and exchanges between women, youth, sports, cultural figures and bodies.
Zhang Na, Vice President of the Youth Committee of Entrepreneurs Association, said that the two countries enjoy a unique friendship and all weather strategic cooperative partnership.
She, however, said that these bonds could further be expanded in the areas of education, people to people contacts and exchanges particularly between the women and youth.
Zhang, who has long been eager to contribute in bringing China closer to the rest of the world, is determined to play to her strengths to further enhance people to people contacts and cultural bonds between the two brotherly countries.

Study Shows Voluntary Running Reduces Neuromuscular Decline In Aging Mice
Their study, published online in Neurobiology of Aging,investigated aging rodents that underwent voluntary running exercise between the ages of 22 and 27 months, which represents roughly 55 to 80 years of age in humans.
“These experiments showed that running significantly improved the neuromuscular decline in mice that underwent running compared to sedentary mice. Our findings support the mantra of ‘use it or lose it’ in regards to the connection between the nervous system and muscles, namely the neuromuscular junction,” said senior author Dr. W. David Arnold, neuromuscular specialist and associate professor at Ohio State Wexner Medical Center.
