There is so much in relations & these visits as compare to any usual relationship with other countries. Indeed, Pakistan China shares a lot much more than mere neighbors. This cooperation is already giving fruits & we will be seeing more in near future as well. Very less is available in public domain but there are lot of developments as well as cooperation going on. A rival is yet again denied any misadventure & caught in shock & awe.

Way to go

Name of the game is change, and surely it is coming, bidirectional flow of goods and services that will lift the people of both sides of the border and beyond into increased socioeconomic progress. We dearly need to follow the Chinese model for change and progression and the sooner we do the better it will be for regional stability and the future of Pakistan.

On another note, like we worked together on the JF17, we need to work with the Chinese on a fire and forget strategic torpedoes that can ocean dominance and keep our territorial seas clear of enemy ships at times of hostilities.
