Qaiser Nawab, Chairman of the Belt and Road Initiative for Sustainable Development (BRISD), extends warm wishes to the government and people of China on the occasion of the Chinese New Year and expresses his profound appreciation for H.E. President Asif Ali Zardari’s official visit to China from 4th to 8th February 2025.
This visit comes at a historic moment, symbolizing the beginning of a new era of progress and cooperation between Pakistan and China – two true friends and iron brothers. As China welcomes the Lunar New Year with hopes for renewal and prosperity, this high-level diplomatic engagement reinforces the unwavering bond between both nations and their shared vision for a brighter future.
The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), the flagship project of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), has already transformed Pakistan’s infrastructure and energy sectors. Now, as both nations enter CPEC Phase 2, the focus will shift towards industrialization, technology transfer, digital economy, renewable energy, and socio-economic development—bringing lasting benefits to the people of Pakistan and China.
Qaiser Nawab emphasized that President Zardari’s visit is a reaffirmation of Pakistan’s steadfast commitment to regional connectivity, sustainable development, and economic integration under the BRI framework. “This visit will further deepen trade, investment, and strategic partnerships, ensuring that Pakistan and China continue to lead the way in shaping a more interconnected and prosperous world,” he stated.
BRISD remains dedicated to enhancing green development, youth empowerment, and people-to-people connectivity—key pillars of Pakistan-China cooperation. As both nations celebrate this momentous occasion, they look forward to a future defined by shared success, peace, and mutual growth.
