Pakistan\u2019s reaffirmation of the one-China principle and unwavering support for China\u2019s core interests, coupled with China\u2019s commitment to synergizing development strategies, underscore the profound mutual trust that has long characterized their bonds. The joint unveiling of the logo for the 75th anniversary of diplomatic ties further symbolizes the shared aspiration of the two peoples to pass on this \u201ciron-clad friendship\u201d to future generations.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Pragmatically, the consensus reached to advance the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) marks a significant stride forward. Expanding cooperation in industry, agriculture and digital technology will not only build on CPEC\u2019s existing achievements\u2014such as alleviating Pakistan\u2019s power shortage and creating massive employment opportunities\u2014but also elevate bilateral economic and trade relations to new heights, delivering tangible benefits to the peoples of both countries. Additionally, the strengthened counter-terrorism cooperation between the two sides and their joint commitment to safeguarding the security of Chinese personnel in Pakistan address a critical concern, further reinforcing the security dimension of the bilateral partnership, he added.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">On the global stage, Prof Cheng said that the two countries\u2019 alignment in upholding the purposes and principles of the UN Charter and opposing unilateral bullying reflects their shared values and strategic coordination. As China\u2019s first reception of a foreign minister in 2026, DPM\/FM Ishaq Dar\u2019s visit underscores the unique priority accorded to China-Pakistan relations.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">In an era of mounting global challenges, this partnership serves as a stabilizing force for regional peace and a paradigm for South-South cooperation. As the two nations embark on the celebrations of the 75th anniversary of diplomatic ties, DPM\/FM Ishaq Dar\u2019s successful visit has laid a solid foundation for forging an even closer China-Pakistan community with a shared future, he added.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">At the invitation of Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi, Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammad Ishaq Dar visited China from January 3 to 5, 2026.<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BEIJING, Jan 6 (APP):Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Senator Mohammad Ishaq Dar\u2019s official visit to China, to co-chair the 7th China-Pakistan Foreign Ministers\u2019 Strategic Dialogue, comes at a pivotal juncture as the two nations draw closer to the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations.
