The article stated that Pakistan and China have a history of friendly exchanges for more than 70 years. The two countries have been together through thick and thin, and unswervingly support each other and cooperate with each other. The author believes that Pakistani Prime Minister Shabaz Sharif visited China not long ago, opening a new era of Pakistan-China relations. On the basis of Pakistan and China's continuous strengthening of a common vision, Pakistan-China relations have become the "pillar of regional peace and stability" and "set a new benchmark" for international cooperation on the "Belt and Road".
article praised that under the charismatic leadership of Chinese President Xi Jinping, China has become an insurmountable world power. The Belt and Road Initiative proposed by China will help eliminate huge global challenges - extremism and radicalism . Not only that, the Belt and Road Initiative is becoming a new symbol of cross-regional connectivity in more than 140 countries and regions around the world.
The author mentioned that China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is an important part of the "Belt and Road" initiative, demonstrating China's friendly attitude towards Pakistan. The construction of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor will help alleviate and improve Pakistan's debt, environment and other problems. It is a good carrier and fulcrum for Pakistan's development and progress, and at the same time promotes cultural exchanges between Pakistan and China.
article points out that the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor helps deepen the integrated bond relationship between Pakistani provinces by building a more convenient road transportation network. At present, the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor has entered the second stage of high-quality development. The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor may have a huge boost to Pakistan's large-scale economic activities, and its spillover effect will also benefit the five Central Asian countries.
article also writes that in maintaining world peace, both Pakistan and China oppose hegemony , advocate strengthening international anti-terrorism cooperation and resolving disputes through peaceful means. Against this background, Pakistan-China relations are becoming increasingly important, and Pakistan regards China as a voice of rationality in international affairs.
Finally, the author quoted the statement in the Joint Statement of the People's Republic of China and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan during Baz's visit to China in early summer this month to express his views, "Pakistan stressed that Pakistan-China relations are the cornerstone of Pakistan's foreign policy, and the Pakistani people have always supported Pakistan-China's closest friendship."
