30th November 2023 Thursday was a memorable day in my life when I had the opportunities to visit the Peoples Republic of China Embassy in Islamabad Pakistan. On the evening of the 30th November I had a unique day a day I had never thought before. I had never the opportunity to visit the embassy of the any country before, but I was lucky that I already had all the information about beautiful China. In my house 70% of the items are in Chinese color. I have a room in my house where it doesn’t feel like I am in Pakistani house in a Pakistani room. A beautiful room with Chinese items a heart catching view and a beautiful little mini library consisting of books a Chinese history, culture, development, international relations, and Shanghai innovation, which includes all books on China in this room, the Great Wall of China historical sites such as the Forbidden Cities, Tiananmen Square all of these historical sites are available, which remind me of the uniqueness and importance of Chinese history, culture.
In 2018 I had the opportunities to meet the important personality of China Sir Yao Jing who is called the great friend of the Pakistani peoples, meeting with Sir Yao Jing took place at the lunch ceremony of my Sister Book at the Pakistan Institute of Parliamentarians Services. His love for Pakistan impressed me a lot. For the first time in my life any Chinese person gave me such concern about Pakistan. This respect love and care about Pakistan increased my love and respect for China in my heart. I have all information in my mind because of my sister Ayesha Alam book Under the Shadow of the Himalayas Pak-China Relations opportunities and Challenges has been a source of information for me for the rest of China and Pakistan friendship researcher. This book almost covers the 74 years of charming relations between two state. My visit to Chinese embassy Islamabad was the most important thing in my life. My heart was filled with joy the thought that I would be visiting the embassy of the world most beloved country China. As the car drove towards Islamabad my heart was filled with the feeling of joy. As our car entered the China embassy the feeling of that moment cannot be described in worlds. After fulfilled the basic requirement I entered the Chines embassy for the first time. Miss Wang with a beautiful smile was standing to welcome us. Ms Wang had already introduced tome my sister Ayesha Alam. When we entered the Chinese Embassy building the Chinese Embassy was captivating everyone. Chinese Architecture had turned the building into a masterpiece, creating a unique and beautiful environment. The Chinese style of construction is distinct symbol. I had heard about it from my sister and seen images and videos of Chinese culture worldwide. My sister and Miss Wang finalized all requirement related to China Embassy coordination with Department of Pakistan Studies Hazara University Mansehra. After completing the necessary formalities, with Miss Wang. At the moment, a person entered the hall, bring a beautiful smile. He introduced himself as Mr Liu Chang and welcomed us warmly. After completing all the formalities of Chineseprotocol, Miss Wang presented as Chinese gifts which smelled of China. While talking to MrLiuchang and Miss Wang I didn’t feel at all that I was meeting these people for the first time I felt like I had known them for centuries. After meeting these two beautiful people my feelings and emotions that I had always heard from my sister Ayesha Alam about China gave me even more joy. How Chinese people love Pakistan and its peoples this was a unique feeling and relationship after meeting Chinese diplomats. I felt that Chinese people are very cultured and well-mannered on my way back from the China Embassy the image of Miss Wang and MrLiuchang was spinning in my heart, and I was thinking that we all should light our candle in promoting Pak-China relations. I always heard one thing from my sister for the promotion of bilateral relations peoples to peoples contact is very important. Now it is up to us to play our role for Pakistan-China relations over more and set a shining example before the world that when two nations are determined to walk together in peace and brotherhood they can be great nations with great courage like China and Pakistan. I shared my thoughts with my friends and told them how I felt very good after visiting the Chinese Embassy. I hope I get more opportunities and I will continue to share my thoughts with peoples in the same way. The best way I share my thoughts with peoples through newspaper and tell them how kind and appreciative our Chinese brother and sisters are.
