lies in our people to people contact. He also highlighted the love and
friendship of Pakistani people towards China and said that that he wanted to
carry this friendship from generations to generations and to newer
heights. We have already entered into the golden era of our relationship
‘ he added.
Both sides agreed that CPEC is the flagship project strengthening
the ties between the two countries. It was a dream that is now translating into
a reality and yet there is a lot more to come which both the countries can do
together. NSA suggested that China should consider to have its major industrial
base in the Province of Balochistan where both the countries could co-produce
and co-manufacture and also have an easy access to world market.

believe in competition, confrontation and conflict, rather it supports a new
type of relationship based on mutual respect, that upholds territorial
integrity and favours cooperation and partnerships to create win-win situation

agreed to continue efforts for peace in Afghanistan by political and economic
means.
