1. Generational Legacy 🌟
Geng Jing, granddaughter of General Geng Biaoa pioneer in early China2Pakistan ties shared memories passed down through her family. She reflected on how her grandfathers dedication still inspires young people today to carry the ironclad bond forward.
2. Diplomacy in Action 🌐
Ambassador Khalil Hashmi and former Ambassador Zhang Chunxiang walked us through key milestones: from the first official visits in the 1950s to joint projects under the Belt and Road Initiative. They emphasized that shared values, like mutual respect and strategic cooperation, keep the friendship resilient in a changing world.
3. People-to-People Narratives 🎭
Academics and cultural leaders highlighted language exchanges, joint film festivals, and university partnerships that connect students and artists. These everyday interactions, they said, weave the real story of how residents of Pakistan and the Chinese mainland understand each other beyond diplomacy.
