At the invitation of Chinese President Xi Jinping, Pakistan’s President Asif Ali Zardari will undertake a four-day state visit to China from February 4 to 8, 2025. The visit aims to strengthen the longstanding diplomatic and economic ties between the two nations, often described as “ironclad” allies.
President Zardari is expected to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping, Premier Li Qiang, and other top officials to discuss key areas of cooperation. The visit holds strategic significance as both countries seek to enhance their partnership in trade, defense, and infrastructure development.
A major highlight of the visit is the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), a multi-billion-dollar initiative under China’s Belt and Road framework. Both sides are likely to discuss new projects, investment opportunities, and measures to accelerate the completion of ongoing developments.
The visit's agenda includes expanding economic collaboration, particularly in trade and investment, with a strong focus on energy, infrastructure, and industrial development under CPEC. Defense cooperation will also be a key topic, with discussions on strengthening military ties, joint security initiatives, and efforts to promote regional peace.
Pakistan and China have shared a close diplomatic bond since 1951, evolving into a strategic partnership over decades. China has been one of Pakistan’s most significant allies, providing crucial support in defense, technology, and economic sectors. The visit comes at a time when regional dynamics are shifting, with both nations seeking to navigate geopolitical challenges while reinforcing their mutual interests.
Experts believe this visit will reaffirm China’s commitment to Pakistan as a key regional ally. For Pakistan, deeper economic ties with China offer much-needed investment and support for development projects. The two leaders are expected to discuss regional security issues, including Afghanistan and Indo-Pacific developments.
