First joint Pak-China fashion show takes place at Great Wall

Pakistan and China marked a new chapter in cultural collaboration with their first joint fashion show, held at the Badaling section of the Great Wall in Beijing on Sunday.

Long Yuxiang, Chairman of the CICCC, said the fashion show was more than just a cultural event; it was a reflection of the strategic, all-weather partnership between China and Pakistan.

Similarly, Pakistan’s Ambassador to China, Khalil Hashmi, said the fashion show symbolised the “living spirit” of the ancient Silk Road, serving as a modern bridge of fabric, art, and friendship between the two countries. He added that it would help pave the way for deeper trade and cultural partnerships.

The ambassador also noted that the timing of the event was particularly meaningful, as it coincided with the 60th anniversary of President Ayub Khan’s visit to the same section of the Great Wall, the first-ever by a Pakistani leader.
