Felicitation message from Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi to H.E. Mr. Xi Jinping, President of China

(2017-10-26) Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi has felicitated H.E. Mr. Xi Jinping on his re-election as General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. The Prime Minister acknowledged that the world marveled at the generational transformation China has achieved since the initiation of the reforms and opening up process in 1978. China has not only achieved the status of second largest economy of the world but has also realized the miracle of bringing 700 million people out of poverty in a time span of one generation.

China’s efforts to realize a just, equitable and harmonious global governance, based on shared prosperity and win-win cooperation, represent the aspirations of the developing world. The Belt and Road initiative and China-Pakistan Economic Corridor are the hallmarks of the spirit of this win-win cooperation.

The Prime Minister underscored that Pakistan-China relationship enjoys full support from all segments of society in Pakistan. The people and government of Pakistan stand ready to take our bilateral comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership to new heights.
