President Xi’s vision of building a “Community with a Shared Future for Mankind” aligns with Pakistan’s own philosophy, as we too believe in harmony, cooperation, and shared prosperity.
In this context, the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) stands as a shining symbol of our enduring partnership. CPEC is not merely an economic project it is a bridge of connectivity, opportunity, and hope.
