President Arif Alvi has said Pakistan-China bilateral relations provide a stabilizing force in the changing world.
In a recent interview with the Chinese media, he said the two countries always support each other’s efforts to safeguard their respective core interests, and their deepening bond serves as a good example for the world.
President Arif Alvi emphasized the new world order should be a multipolar world, allowing people to progress and allow people to continue with trade. He said the world order should not base on the victors’ rules, but base on the fact that it should be an emancipation of people.
The President said both Pakistan and China love peace, highlighting the initiatives put forward by China such as the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) that focuses on people’s development so that people can live a stable and healthy life.
He said the BRI has shown to the world a way of cooperating and a way of mutual developments, whereby movements of goods and people are made easier. He said the initiative benefits international trade and sustainable development.
Regarding the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), the President said the infrastructure, human resources, energy, and industry sectors in the country are being improved with the help of the corridor project.
He also expressed appreciation that the loans from China did not come with strings.
As the construction of the CPEC has now entered a new phase of high-quality development, the president envisioned enhanced cooperation with China in the sectors of information technology (IT), agriculture, vehicle manufacturing etc.
He was confident that Pakistan-China cooperation in the agriculture sector would yield tremendous results. He noted China is the frontrunner in areas including Artificial intelligence and supercomputers, and Pakistan wants to be a part of it.
