The two sides have planned a wide range of activities, spreading throughout the year, to mark this historic milestone and celebrate the evolution of the Pakistan-China friendship that has, over seven decades, transformed into a time-tested “All-Weather Strategic Cooperative Partnership”, despite vicissitudes of times and changes in the international and regional situation.
Plantation of the evergreen Deodar tree – which is also the national tree of Pakistan – depicted the spirit of the Pakistan-China All-Weather Strategic Cooperative Partnership.
Both sides reiterated their commitment to celebrating the 70th Anniversary in a befitting manner.
