Ms. Pang Chunxue,
Charge d’ Affairs, Chinese Embassy in Pakistan
I would like to express my warm congratulations to Pakistan for holding the Exercise Aman-23 and Pakistan International Maritime Expo & Conference (PIMEC). The theme of Aman-23 is Together for Peace, which demonstrates the determination of all participating parties and partners to unity and maintain peace. It is believed that through a series of activities, all parties including the Chinese and Pakistani navies, will further enhance the level of cooperation, improve the ability to jointly respond to risks and challenges, tap the development potential of blue economy, and contribute new strengths to maintaining regional peace and stability. The Chinese side sincerely congratulates Economic Affairs on the release of its special edition, and appreciates its positive contribution to strengthening international maritime cooperation.
China and Pakistan are good friends, good partners and good brothers. Under the strategic guidance of the leaders of the two countries, China and Pakistan have always supported each other and forged ahead, demonstrating the iron-clad friendship between the two countries. The high-level interactions between the two countries have maintained closely, and the political mutual trust has been continuously enhanced. Last year, President Xi Jinping met with the Prime Ministers of Pakistan three times. Prime Minister Shehbaz paid a successful visit to China in November, becoming the first head of government to visit China after the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. Not long ago, Premier Li Keqiang spoke with Prime Minister Shehbaz over the phone, and the new Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang had a telephone call with Foreign Minister Bilawal immediately after taking office. With the strong guidance of the leaders, China and Pakistan are making great strides towards building a closer China-Pakistan community with a shared future in the new era. The construction of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor has been constantly enriched and expanded. The two militaries have achieved fruitful results in fields such as high-level visits, joint training and exercises, anti-pandemic cooperation, and equipment and technology cooperation. China is willing to work with Pakistan to maintain regional peace and stability, tap the potential of blue economic cooperation, use of marine resources such as fisheries, renewable energy, tourism, and shipping in a sustainable way, and jointly respond to non-traditional security issues including global pandemics, climate change and ocean governance, injecting?certainty and positives?into the world.
The year 2023 marks the beginning of full implementation of the guiding principles laid down at the 20th National Congress of CPC. China is willing to work with Pakistan to implement the important consensus reached by the leaders of the two countries, solidly enhance all-round exchanges and cooperation, promote the implementation of Global Development Initiatives and Global Security Initiatives, build a community with a shared future for mankind, provide a strong support for the development of the two countries, and make more contributions to the peace, stability and common prosperity of the world.
