CPEC 2.0 on Fast Track as Beijing Reaffirms Unshakable Ties with Islamabad

President Xi Jinping has hailed Pakistan-China ties as resilient, brotherly, and built on trust and shared values—a friendship tested by history and strengthened in every crisis. From Pakistan’s early defiance of Western pressure to recognize China, to Beijing’s support in wars and its $28 billion CPEC investment during Pakistan’s toughest economic and security challenges, the partnership has proven unshakable. Now, as CPEC 2.0 begins, both nations are deepening cooperation in trade, industry, agriculture, and mining, while preparing a joint security framework to protect investments, counter propaganda, and fight terrorism. More than an alliance, it is a bond of survival, solidarity, and a shared destiny.
