Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif expressed gratitude to the China International Cultural Communication Center and the China Pakistan Friendship Association for their warm hospitality. He said that the friendship and brotherhood between Pakistan and China are unparalleled in the world. The friendship between Pakistan and China is unprecedented and unique, having gone through the test of time, as well as natural disasters such as wars, floods, and earthquakes. The story of 'Foolish Old Man Moves Mountains' tells us that we must work very hard, and this is also reflected in China's development process.

And we all firmly believe that our two countries need to make such efforts to better promote our development and cultivate better friendship.

Speech by Sha Zukang

Sha Zukang warmly welcomed Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif. He said that China and Pakistan are good neighbors, good friends, good partners, and good brothers. Since the establishment of diplomatic relations 73 years ago, under the strategic guidance of the leaders of China and Pakistan and the care and support of people from all walks of life, China Pakistan relations have withstood the test of international changes, formed an all-weather friendship that is higher than mountains, deeper than seas, harder than steel, and sweeter than honey, and carried out all-round cooperation, which can be regarded as a model of friendly coexistence between countries. For 73 years, the leaders of the two countries have been coming and going like relatives, steering and guiding the development of China Pakistan relations; Like brothers, the two peoples have stood together through thick and thin, united and helped each other. The "iron" friendship between China and Pakistan has grown into a towering tree, rooted in the hearts of the two peoples. The "iron" friendship between China and Pakistan is a historical choice and a precious treasure belonging to the two peoples. Against the backdrop of the world entering a new period of turbulence and change, it is of special significance to promote the traditional friendship between China and Pakistan and deepen the unity and cooperation between the two sides.
