Pakistan and China Mark 75 Years of Diplomatic Ties with Delegation and Parliamentary Resolution

Pakistan and China established diplomatic relations in 1951. Over the decades, their partnership has expanded through trade, infrastructure, and security collaboration. The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, a flagship project of China’s Belt and Road Initiative, has brought billions of dollars in investment to Pakistan’s energy and transport sectors.

Cai Dafeng headed the Chinese delegation that stayed in Islamabad from May 20 to May 21. Upon arrival, the delegation was greeted by Syed Ghulam Mustafa Shah and Romina Khurshid Alam, who convenes the Pakistan-China Parliamentary Friendship Group. Tariq Fazal Chaudhry, a member of the National Assembly, introduced a resolution that congratulated Pakistan and China on reaching the 75‑year milestone. The resolution praised cooperation under CPEC, welcomed the visiting delegation, and expressed confidence that the friendship will strengthen in the coming decades.

The visit and parliamentary resolution signal continued commitment to deepening bilateral ties. Analysts expect both sides to discuss next steps for CPEC projects, including upcoming energy and industrial zones. The anniversary also provides an opportunity to review trade balances and explore new areas of cooperation such as technology and agriculture.
