SinoPakistan

SinoPakistan refers to the relationship between the People's Republic of China and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. This relationship is often characterized by strong diplomatic, economic, and military ties, frequently described as "all-weather" or "iron-brother" by both nations.

The foundation of Sino-Pakistani relations was laid in the early 1950s, shortly after the establishment of the People's Republic of China. Pakistan was among the first countries to recognize PRC. Over the decades, the relationship has evolved significantly, marked by mutual support on various international platforms and a shared strategic outlook.

Economically, China is a major trading partner and investor in Pakistan. The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), a flagship project of China's Belt and Road Initiative, is a substantial undertaking involving infrastructure development, energy projects, and special economic zones in Pakistan. CPEC aims to enhance connectivity between China and Pakistan and has become a cornerstone of their economic cooperation.

Militarily, China has been a significant supplier of defense equipment to Pakistan. The two countries regularly engage in joint military exercises, fostering interoperability and strengthening defense cooperation. This military dimension is a key aspect of their strategic partnership.

The relationship is built on principles of mutual respect, non-interference in internal affairs, and a shared commitment to regional peace and stability. Both nations often coordinate their positions on regional and global issues.
