Pak-China Relationships
A country’s existence can’t stay for much longer if the country doesn’t have good relations with some other countries. Relations are mostly built with those countries that are strong and powerful in every aspect such as U.S.A and China. Fortunately Pakistan has good relations with both of the super powers of the world U.S.A and China especially with China. Pakistan and China are close to each other since 1951. Pakistan has always stood as an ally with China and Pakistan was also the first country to supported China in gaining a recognized name in the world and today we can see the results of the Pakistan’s support. Pakistan helped China in becoming what it has become now. Pak-China relations became stronger at the time of international isolation in 1960’s.
China supported Pakistan in every way possible in return of all the favors Pakistan gave to China. China helped Pakistan by giving support of its own military, its economic assistance, its technical assistance, and arranged nuclear equipments for Pakistan and there many other uncountable ways in which China helped Pakistan just to return the favor and also to maintain Pak-China relationship. According to the analysis of experts it is believed that as the relation will get better between U.S.A and India then Pak-China relation will grow stronger as China is always there to provide security to its greatest ally Pakistan.
Pakistan has strong trust on China in every aspect and same is the case with China. Pakistan stood up with China and started supporting it mainly after the defeat of China in 1949. To improve the diplomatic relations with China Trans-Karakoram tract was ceded by Pakistan which was going to China. In this way not only Pak-China diplomatic relation got improved but also China’s border disputes came to an end with India.
When it comes to supporting Pakistan through military then China is always there for Pakistan as China has extremely strong ties of defense with Pakistan and China is very satisfied with it. These defense ties give assurance to Pakistan that China is there to provide counter to any bad influence from U.S.A and India. There are number of defense projects that are ongoing between Pakistan and China in these recent years. There are also been some agreements regarding this due to which Pak-China relation has got strengthened in all these years. To the Army of Pakistan most of the military equipments are issued by China and this is being happening since 1962. China has also helped Pakistan in establishing ammunition factories with which it also provided technical assistance to Pakistan in order to modernize the existing facilities Pakistan has.
The country that has invested the most in Gwadar Pakistan sea port is China. China is trying its best so Pakistan’s current situations can get better. It even provided its support in order to protect Pakistan from terrorism so the name of the country Pakistan can get cleared in the eyes of the people of the world. Citizens of both the countries strongly hope that Pak-China relation gets stronger and stays longer.
