President Asif Ali Zardari has reaffirmed Pakistan’s commitment to working together with China for shared prosperity and promoting peace and stability in the world. Highlighting the importance of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), the President said that high quality development of CPEC would help unlock greater benefits for our people, besides enhancing connectivity and prosperity of the region. The President expressed these views while addressing the “China’s National Day Reception”, hosted by the Chinese Embassy, to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, at Serena Hotel, today. The event was attended by the Prime Minister Mian Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif, Federal Ministers, diplomats, dignitaries, and senior civil and military officers. While extending warmest felicitations to Chinese brothers and sisters on the auspicious occasion, the President stated that the first of October marked the rebirth of a strong, united China, achieved through the heroic struggles of the Chinese people under the visionary leadership of the Communist Party. Speaking on the occasion, the President reflected on the invaluable contributions made by successive generations in transforming the Pakistan-China friendship into an All-Weather Strategic Cooperative Partnership. This partnership had served as a model of inter-state relations and thus become a source of inspiration and strength for both countries. He further added that China was an iron-clad brother of Pakistan and the entire nation was proud of the enduring friendship as both countries stood by each other during testing times. The President hoped that China was poised to achieve significant milestones in the coming decades, which would not only bolster its development but also reshape the global landscape in politics, economics, and culture in positive ways.
