China's top diplomat Wang Yi recently met with Pakistan's Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammad Ishaq Dar in Islamabad for the Sixth Round of China-Pakistan Foreign Ministers' Strategic Dialogue. In a friendly, brotherly vibe, the two sides agreed on a roadmap – dubbed the four always – to deepen their all-weather strategic partnership. 🌐🤝
1. Always Trust & Support: Both countries will back each other on core interests, building rock-solid mutual trust. 💪
2. Always Focus on Development: The centerpiece is CPEC 2.0 – a high-quality upgrade of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor. From industry hubs to smart agriculture and mining tech, the aim is to boost job opportunities, digital connectivity, and improve daily life for Pakistan’s people. 🚀💼
3. Always Safeguard Security & Livelihood: In the wake of recent heavy rains, China will send emergency aid, showing solidarity with Pakistan. Both sides will also tighten security to protect Chinese teams and projects, and ramp up counterterrorism cooperation. 🛡️❤️
4. Always Coordinate & Face Challenges Together: From youth exchanges and cultural programs to joint input on regional and global platforms like the Global Development Initiative, China and Pakistan are setting a united front for a peaceful, open, and inclusive Asia. 🎓🎨
For young tech-savvy folks and early pros in South and Southeast Asia, CPEC 2.0 means potential new startups, digital jobs, and cross-border internships. Plus, cultural festivals and student exchanges will help bridge communities and spark fresh ideas. 🌏🙌
Stay tuned as China and Pakistan turn these “always” into action – driving infrastructure, security, and people-to-people bonds to new heights. ✨
