Pakistan, China sign 15 agreements on a range of bilateral issues

Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan, left, and China's Premier Li Keqiang attend a signing ceremony at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing on Saturday.

• Islamabad reaffirms its support in combating terrorism
• Both countries dismiss growing propaganda against CPEC

ISLAMABAD: With an aim to consolidate their strategic partnership and all-weather friendship, Pakistan and China signed 15 agreements on Sunday covering a range of bilateral issues, as part of Prime Minister Imran Khan’s first visit to the country, a joint statement said.

The statement added that building a closer China-Pakistan community in the new era was the pillar of the continued relationship between the “iron brothers.”

Pakistan, on its part, reaffirmed its support in safeguarding China’s sovereignty and security, while enhancing cooperation against the “three evils” of extremism, terrorism and separatism, the statement said.

Dismissing the growing propaganda against the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) project, both Beijing and Islamabad expressed their determination to protect the initiative against all threats, while agreeing to speed up progress along the Gwadar port. “Both sides reviewed the early phase of the CPEC and reaffirmed their complete consensus on the future trajectory of CPEC, timely completion of on-going projects and joint efforts for realization of its full potential,” the statement added.

They also agreed to task the CPEC’s Joint Cooperation Committee (JCC) with formulating ideas to explore new areas of cooperation. “It was decided that the eighth session of the JCC will be held in Beijing before the end of the year.

The two sides announced the setting up of a working group on socio-economic development, to assist with livelihood projects in Pakistan,” the statement added.

The two sides discussed ways to boost Pakistan’s industrial capacity through joint ventures, including steps to take concrete measures in addressing the trade imbalance. “These would include an exchange of trade missions, broadening market access for agricultural and ICT products, and simplifying customs, quarantine and phytosanitary procedures,” the statement said.

Pakistan and China acknowledged the need to conclude the second phase of the China-Pakistan Free Trade Agreement as early as possible and further enhance defense cooperation, maintain high-level visits and exchanges between relevant departments of the two countries’ armed forces, while making full use of the China-Pakistan Defense and Security Consultation mechanism to deepen cooperation in military exercises and technology.

Islamabad applauded Beijing’s efforts in combating corruption with successful results, while expressing an interest to imbibe and apply similar practices in Pakistan as well.

Acknowledging the fact that China was a popular choice for Pakistanis — with more than 25,000 students enrolled across universities in the country — China, on its part, said that it would offer additional scholarships for students from the neighboring country.

To facilitate this process, the two countries discussed methods to establish a committee to encourage youth exchange programs and ensure cooperation in the area.

Additionally, they reaffirmed their commitment to uphold the purpose and principles of the UN Charter, in terms of promoting international peace and security and safeguarding the contemporary world order.

Khan is visiting China on the invitation of Prime Minister Li Keqiang. During his visit, he also called on President Xi Jinping and a coterie of other officials.

Acknowledging the fact that China was a popular choice for Pakistanis — with more than 25,000 students enrolled across universities in the country — China, on its part, said that it would offer additional scholarships for students from the neighboring country.

Twenty-five thousand is a good start but hopefully this number will grow very rapidly by ten-fold in all important fields such as science, engineering, and business.

The seeds of this agreement will bring true giant trees of success for Pakistan. What an extremely positive MoU and a great success for IK and PTI. It is designed to lead to well thought out and deep rooted partner strategies and action plans rather than the simplistic signature of a few complacent deals. The one I like is "economic and technical cooperation and agreement" and "MoU on Poverty reduction". Now it's up the forward thinking architects of Pakistan's future economy to do their bit and come up with a long and detailed analysis , plans and strategies to take Pakistan to the 22nd Century. Let's get everyone's views on-board from the consultants, economists, planners , military and the public for this once in a life opportunity to change Pakistan for the better. Let's take it to the Public domain through public debates and discussions , include School Children, students, the Police , the Army ,teachers, nurses, thew community, the Workers and the men, women and children and old people who make up Pakistan and ask them what they want and how should it be done to take Pakistan into the 22nd Century.

If China is sitting on 3000 billion dollars of reserves it is their own hard earned money. In 1980 I can still recall an entire nation using bicycles to move to work. Hearing stories of how hard they worked to get to the top. China has done more than enough for Pakistan. They have given us many dams and many techs plus this visit of our PM to China is a success because after this visit has FM announced the end to balance of payments crisis.
