ISLAMABAD: Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar on Monday conducted a comprehensive review of the ongoing cooperation between Pakistan and China across all spheres.

Chairing a meeting, he emphasised that the 75th anniversary of Pakistan–China diplomatic relations should be celebrated in a befitting manner, a Foreign Office statement said.

Several proposals were put forward during the meeting to meaningfully commemorate the 75th anniversary of Pakistan-China diplomatic relations and further showcase the enduring partnership between the two nations.

China is not only a key strategic ally of Islamabad but also a major investor in Pakistan. Over the years, Beijing has invested billions of dollars into developing a network of roads, railways, and energy pipelines linking Gwadar Port to China’s Xinjiang region—an initiative known as the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).

Pakistan and China maintain one of Asia’s closest defence partnerships, strengthened over decades through joint development of major weapons systems — most notably the JF-17 Thunder fighter jet — as well as extensive training, exchanges, and joint planning.
