In commemoration of 100 years of the Communist Party of China (CPC), the Pakistan China Institute (PCI) organised a conference in the federal capital on Tuesday.

Opening remarks were given by Senator Mushahid Hussain who talked about the rapid development of Gwadar and close coordination between China and Pakistan in key sectors of the economy.

He apprised the audience that China will never allow any country to oppress it. He also said that in Pakistan there is national consensus that this relationship has to be further strengthened as there is appreciation for CPEC and ubiquitous positive sentiment towards China in Pakistan.

In addition to this, the ceremony of CPC’s centenary was broadcasted live from China where President Xi Jinping delivered a virtual speech.

All panelists apprised the audience of over 100 people, including professionals, journalists and academicians about the importance of Pakistan-China relations and expressed that the dynamic all-weather strategic partnership with Pakistan and China should be further strengthened by ensuring effective people-to-people relations.

The dialogue was moderated by PCI’s Executive Director Mustafa Hyder Sayed who talked about the Friends of Silk Road’s success in working as the gateway between the people of Pakistan and China.

He also highlighted how the relations between both countries have grown during the last seven decades.

The conference was part of PCI’s flagship event series FOSR and had a dedicated panel of six experts on China, including an exclusive documentary production of PCI on Pakistan-China relations.
