Chinese President Xi Jinping, Beijing and Islamabad would collaborate to make the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) a model example of a high-quality Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) project.
China will always stand by Pakistan: Xi gave these statements in a message of congratulations to the Pakistani city of Islamabad’s celebration of the Decade of China-Pakistan Economic Corridor.
CPEC is a significant pioneering project of the Belt and Road collaboration, according to Xi. China and Pakistan have been pursuing CPEC since its debut in 2013 on the basis of comprehensive collaboration, collaborative contribution, and shared advantages, and have seen a number of early harvests as a result.
He added that it is a striking example of the all-weather friendship between China and Pakistan and serves as a solid foundation for forging an even closer China-Pakistan community with a shared future in the new era. This has given Pakistan’s economic and social development new impetus and laid the groundwork for regional connectivity and integration, he said.
Xi emphasised that no matter how the world environment changes, China will always stand solidly with Pakistan and that both countries will continue to strengthen overall planning and extend and deepen cooperation.
Xi said In order to make an even greater contribution to peace and prosperity in the two countries as well as the wider region, China and Pakistan will continue to collaborate closely and move forward in unity to uphold the ironclad friendship, coordinate development and security, pursue cooperation of higher standards, broader scope, and greater depth, and take the China-Pakistan all-weather strategic cooperative partnership to new heights.
