Pakistan and China are All Weather Strategic Partners. We are “iron brothers” who have always stood by each other. Today, we are witnessing the dawn of a new era in Pakistan-China relations, propelled by the aspirations of our people and the mutual prospects for improving their lives, today and for future generations. I urge you all to explore the vistas of opportunity that span across diverse sectors of our economy, including agriculture, energy, manufacturing, technology, minerals, and infrastructure. Each sector presents unique and endless possibilities for collaboration and growth. Along with the Government and people, the business community of Pakistan is keen to join hands with their Chinese partners. I assure you of my support and that of my Government wherever it is required. I would also like to express my gratitude to President Xi Jinping for his unwavering support towards advancing greater trade and economic cooperation between Pakistan and China. CPEC is the crown jewel of BRI and a living example of the wonders we can create together. Let us seize the opportunities that lie ahead and forge an even stronger bond between our two nations.
