Deputy Prime Minister Muhammad Ishaq Dar says efforts are being accelerated to build a China–Pakistan community with a shared future.
In a recent interview with People’s Daily Online, he noted that 2026 will mark the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Pakistan and China.
The Deputy Prime Minister said that over the past 75 years, Pakistan and China have firmly upheld a tradition of mutual respect, trust and cooperation.
He said that the two countries have always strongly supported each other on core interests and major issues.
Ishaq Dar said that agriculture is one of the cornerstone industries of Pakistan’s economy, and in recent years companies from both countries have achieved positive results through cooperation in crops such as chili peppers, rapeseed (mustard/canola) and sesame.
Meanwhile, many Pakistani agricultural products have gained access to the Chinese market.
