Beijing: China, a nation that maintains a close bond with Pakistan, has said that closer links will be forged between the Chinese grotto temples and their overseas counterparts along the ancient Silk Road, media reports said.

Earlier this year, the national administration signed cooperation agreements with its counterparts in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iran to improve cross-border exchanges on the conservation of grotto temples, reports The Express Tribune.

“This would improve people-to-people connectivity,” Director of China National Administration Li Qun projected while addressing a conference, China Daily reported as quoted by The Express Tribune on Monday.

A total of 635 grotto temples have been newly discovered in China in recent times.
