The two countries have maintained close diplomatic and strategic ties, with regular exchanges between their political leadership and ruling party officials forming an important part of their bilateral relationship.
The IDCPC is an agency directly under the CPC Central Committee. It is responsible for managing party-to-party relations, conducting foreign exchanges with political parties and organisations around the world, and gathering political insights to support China’s foreign policy.
China has also committed more than $65 billion in investments in road networks, infrastructure, and development projects in the country Pakistan under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). In addition, several Chinese private-sector manufacturers have entered into joint ventures with Pakistani partners.
