Pakistan and China have an iron-clad friendship spanning 73 years, marked by shared sentiments of unparalleled strategic trust, camaraderie, and unflinching solidarity. Our “All Weather Strategic Cooperative Partnership” has grown into a sturdy tree with deep roots in the hearts of our two peoples. We have stood by each other, through weal and woe, sharing good as well as challenging times together, in the true spirit of iron-clad friendship. Our special relationship is rooted in the mutual understanding of the people of both countries, and built on shared ideals, values, and aspirations. This has made China and Pakistan good neighbors, good friends, and good brothers who understand, trust, and support each other.
Our remarkable bond is also deeply rooted in history, with a rich legacy of social, cultural, and economic linkages dating back over 2,000 years. Our ancestors from both sides traversed the ancient Silk Road to forge a path of cultural exchanges and trade cooperation that binds our nations together. Pakistan’s northern areas served as a vital artery for the ancient Silk Road, connecting China to the Middle East, Africa, and Europe, and that, in turn, enabled the flow and exchange of trade, knowledge, and culture, profoundly influencing the development process of nations across the region.
