Chinese President Xi Jinping Friday said his country is ready to work with Pakistan to deepen the building of ‘China-Pakistan Community of Shared Future’ and to jointly promote cooperation among the regional countries.
President Xi, in a letter to President Dr Arif Alvi, said both Pakistan and China are working to maintain the ‘momentum of peace and development in the region’. He said since the outbreak of coronavirus, the global fight against Covid-l9 has proved that mutual support‚ solidarity and cooperation were the only way to defeat the pandemic.
The Chinese president responded to a special letter of congratulations written by President Dr Arif Alvi on the second conference of the CPEC Political Parties Joint Consultation Mechanism, which, he said, fully demonstrated the great importance and support he (Dr Alvi) rendered to China-Pakistan relations and the CPEC (China-Pakistan Economic Corridor).
President Xi, who is also the General Secretary of CPC Central Committee, said China and Pakistan are good brothers and partners and have a ‘special friendship’. He said as a landmark project of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRl), CPEC was of great significance to the further development of the China-Pakistan all-weather strategic cooperative partnership and the building of a closer China-Pakistan community of shared future.
He said the political parties of China and Pakistan have carried out friendly consultations on a regular basis, which have consolidated political consensus between the two countries to vigorously promote the steady and long-term development of the CPEC and high-quality BRI cooperation.
