Pakistan-China ties lauded: Call to strengthen people-to-people contacts

PESHAWAR: A senior official on Tuesday stressed the need for people-to-people contacts to strengthen the friendly relations between Pakistan and China.

“China has always stood by Pakistan in difficult times and Pakistan has never disappointed its great

neighbour,” said KP Secretary Information Zakaullah Khattak during a visit to China Window, a Chinese Cultural and Information Center in Peshawar, said a press release.

He visited various galleries, penned his impressions in the guest book and signed on the Friendship Wall.

The secretary said the friendship between Pakistan and China is a source of pride for the people of both countries.

He said the CPEC is an important project for Pakistan’s economic development and a new era will begin after the establishment of the Rashakai Economic Zone, where employment opportunities will be available. He said that Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has vast opportunities for religious tourism that need to be tapped.

He hoped the China Window would help promote people-to-people contacts and play a positive and constructive role in the friendship between Pakistan and China.
