Xi's Pakistan visit vital for mutual benefits

Historically, high-level interactions between China and Pakistan have been instrumental not only in promoting bilateral relations, but also resulted in positive changes in the region and beyond.

Despite representing different political systems and civilizations, the two countries have enjoyed exemplary relations during past more than six decades. The strength of close bilateral ties is reflected not only in their relations but in their ever-growing cooperation and coordination on regional and global issues at various international forums and hence recognized globally as exemplary. An important reflection of this strong and trusted relationship is its continuous growth despite changes in the political and strategic environment both within and around the two countries.

Seen in this backdrop, the visit of President Xi Jinping to Pakistan represents a continuity of the age-old bilateral ties as well as a stepping stone for promoting stability, peace and progress in the region and the world beyond - a role based on mutual trust, harmonious development and the win-win approach of China on all fronts.
