The Vice Premier of China and Member of the Politburo of the Central Committee of the Communist Party, H.E He Lifeng has arrived Pakistan on three-day visit.
We heartily welcome the Excellency Hi Lifeng on his high profile visit being paid at the invitation of the Government of Pakistan.
Needless to mention here is that the important visit of the Vice Premier of China, who also happens to be the Special Envoy of President H.E Xi Jinping, is in connection with the 10th-anniversary of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).
We are highly pleased to mention that this year marks the 10th anniversary of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) proposed by President Xi Jinping, and also the 10th anniversary of the launch of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).
There’s no denying the fact that the H.E He Lifeng has remained actively involved in the progress of CPEC projects and has contributed to the dynamic growth in the implementation of CPEC initiatives.
The Foreign Office spokesperson has termed the visit of the Chinese Vice Premier as a significant step to further strengthen the high-level bilateral ties and deepen the friendship between Pakistan and China.
Similarly, the Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson, Mao Ning rightly stated that “Over the past decade, as an important pioneering project of the BRI, CPEC has achieved fruitful results and become a new benchmark for the friendship between China and Pakistan.”
To mark the 10th anniversary of the launch of CPEC, the Pakistani government will hold a grand celebration event in Islamabad, wherein the Vice Premier of the State Council would be participating. In addition to this, Excellency He Lifeng is also scheduled to call on President Dr Arif Alvi and Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif.
Undoubtedly China and Pakistan are all-weather strategic cooperative partners and iron-clad friends. The friendship is time-honored.
One also hopes that this very visit of the Vice Premier will be an opportunity for both sides to jointly implement the important consensus between leaders of the two countries, renew the traditional friendship, build on past achievements and upgrade the development of CPEC, consolidate and deepen the China-Pakistan all-weather strategic cooperative partnership, advance the building of an even closer China-Pakistan community with a shared future in the new era and contribute to the development and prosperity of the region and beyond.
