In a recent conference on work relating to foreign affairs in China, President Xi Jinping delivered a significant address outlining the achievements and experience of major-country diplomacy in the new era. The address serves as a fundamental guideline for advancing major-country diplomacy with Chinese characteristics. China is committed to strengthening mutual learning, deepening mutually beneficial cooperation, and strengthening multilateral coordination with Pakistan.

China aims to build a community with a shared future for mankind, which entails an open, inclusive, clean, and beautiful world. This vision promotes global governance based on extensive consultation, joint contribution, and shared benefits. The common values of humanity serve as the guiding principles, and international relations are built on new foundations. China has already formed communities with a shared future with many countries and regions and has signed Belt and Road cooperation documents with a majority of countries worldwide. The concept of a community with a shared future has also been incorporated into United Nations documents.

In terms of mutually beneficial cooperation, China and Pakistan are working together to enhance the vivid practice of building a community with a shared future. The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), as a key project of the Belt and Road Initiative, has contributed significantly to Pakistan’s economic development and livelihood enhancement over the past decade. With the guidance of high-level consensuses, the construction of CPEC has entered a new stage of high-quality development. This development injects new energy into the building of a closer China-Pakistan community with a shared future.

In terms of multilateral coordination, China and Pakistan aim to safeguard international fairness and justice while promoting common development and prosperity for all countries. Despite the accelerating transformation in the world, the overall direction of human development and progress remains unchanged. China advocates for an equal and orderly multipolar world and a universally beneficial and inclusive economic globalization. Countries, regardless of size, should be treated as equals, and democracy should be promoted in international relations.

China and Pakistan, as all-weather strategic cooperative partners, are committed to continuously deepening and expanding their cooperation in order to safeguard common interests and achieve peace, security, prosperity, and progress for the world.
