“While some were unfortunately trying to politicize the virus, Pakistan stood shoulder to shoulder with our Chinese friends. We shared what [personal protective equipment] PPE we could with China, and our president paid a visit to Beijing at the height of the epidemic with the express intention of demonstrating solidarity with our iron brother. Over the course of seven decades, our fraternal ties have evolved into an 'all-weather strategic cooperative partnership,' finding few parallels in the modern history of inter-state relations. Both countries have progressively enhanced their engagements in diverse fields ranging from political and economic ties to ever-increasing cooperation for enriching cultural and people-to-people exchanges.”
