In his congratulatory message for the 'all-weather friend', PM Imran said that the birth of New China on October 1, 1949 was a momentous occasion in the annals of history.
"Under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, the Chinese people are set to achieve the centennial goals of building moderately prosperous society and great modern socialist country," he added.
The premier also said that it is a matter of immense satisfaction that Pakistan’s bilateral relationship with China has maintained its characteristic momentum, unaffected by the vicissitudes of times.
"Our all-weather strategic cooperative partnership continues to grow from strength-to-strength. Pakistan would continue to support China in pursuit of its core national interests."
PM Imran said that China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is a transformational project and the government has a wholehearted commitment to making it a high-quality demonstration project of Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).
The premier said that it was heartening to know that China has successfully won the "people’s war" against Covid-19. "Our mutual cooperation and joint efforts in the fight against Covid-19 remained exemplary and delivered promising results," he added
