Pakistan values its ties with China

September 23, 2025 (MLN): Pakistan has reaffirmed the depth of its strategic partnership with China as it highlighted shared goals of development, peace, and prosperity in the region.

At a reception hosted by the Chinese Embassy in Islamabad to celebrate the 76th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, Chairman Senate Syed Yousaf Raza Gillani said Pakistan “attaches immense value” to its relations with Beijing.

He welcomed President Xi Jinping’s vision of building a global community with a shared future, noting that the idea resonates strongly with Pakistan’s own policy of regional cooperation and geo-economic advancement.

Gillani added that the long-standing friendship between the two countries has grown into a comprehensive partnership marked by trust, mutual respect, and collaboration across multiple fields.

Recently, China emerged as the largest investor in Pakistan in August 2025, with a net direct investment of $68.6 million, ahead of Hong Kong and Switzerland.

During the first two months of FY26, China maintained its top position with $120m in net FDI, representing nearly one-third of the total investment inflows.

In another development, Chinese technology firm HYF has shown interest in establishing a laptop and tablet manufacturing industry in Pakistan.

The initiative was discussed in a meeting between HYF’s CEO and Special Assistant to the Prime Minister (SAPM) Haroon Akhtar Khan.
