Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Tuesday hailed the “finest hour” of the friendship between Pakistan and China.
He made the remarks while addressing a ceremony in Beijing marking the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties between the two countries.
“These relations were carved out with great commitment, devotion and dedication by the great leaders of China and Pakistan. Over the last seven decades, these relations have reached a high point, where you cannot find a befitting parallel,” he said.
He said that over the last seven decades, China had risen to the “zenith of glory through hard work and untiring efforts”.
“This is a remarkable journey for all other nations around the globe to learn how to overcome poverty, unemployment. If you remain steadfast, then you ultimately achieve what today’s China is — a world economic power and a world military power,” he said, hailing the “finest hour” in the friendship between the two countries.
