Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has underscored the deep-rooted ties between Pakistan and China, emphasizing their unified commitment to global development and security. “The hearts of China and Pakistan beat together, and we are totally committed to global development and global security,” Sharif stated in an interview with China Media Group (CMG) last week.
Speaking ahead of his official visit to China from June 4 to 8, Prime Minister Sharif highlighted the significance of collaborative initiatives between the two nations. He expressed confidence that these joint efforts would “restore world peace, tranquility, progress, and prosperity.”
The visit aims to strengthen bilateral relations and explore new avenues for cooperation in various sectors, including economics, trade, and regional security. Analysts anticipate discussions on the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), a flagship project under China’s Belt and Road Initiative, which has been pivotal in enhancing connectivity and economic integration in the region.
Sharif’s remarks reflect the longstanding friendship between Pakistan and China, often described as “iron brothers.” Both countries have consistently supported each other on international platforms and have collaborated closely on issues of mutual interest.
The Prime Minister’s visit is expected to reinforce this partnership, fostering greater collaboration in pursuit of shared goals that contribute to regional stability and global development.
