Islamabad, September 29, 2022 (PPI-OT):
Good Afternoon, Colleagues
Xiawu Hao,
Thank you, brother Jun, and your team for hosting this Reception.
2. We extend our heartfelt felicitations to China and its people on auspicious occasion of the 73rd anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China.
3. In a modern day miracle, China has succeeded in bringing 700 million people out of poverty in only 30 years.
4. China’s phenomenal achievements in the economic, social, scientific and technological fields reflect the vision and sagacity of its leaders – especially President Xi Jinping – and the hard work of the Chinese people.
5. China and Pakistan are old and trusted friends. Our unbreakable friendship is based on sovereign equality, non-interference in each other’s’ internal affairs and mutual respect. We deeply value China’s consistent and vital support for Pakistan’s economic and social development and modernization.
6. In the face of the catastrophic floods in Pakistan, the entire Chinese nation has come forward in solidarity to help their Pakistani brothers and sisters. This has touched our hearts. Our mutual friendship has a great future.
7. Through the BRI, the GDI and other mechanisms, China supports all developing countries to enlarge prosperity around the world. The CPEC is an outstanding example of such cooperation.
Dear Friends, 8. In 1971, as a young Pakistani diplomat, I participated in the adoption of the historic resolution restoring the PRC’s legitimate seat in the UN. Today, at the UN, China plays a leading role to promote the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, multilateralism and win-win cooperation.
9. Ambassador Zhang, I look forward to our continued close cooperation in promoting our shared aspiration for a world united in the search for a peaceful and prosperous future for all mankind.
10. I wish all my Chinese colleagues a Happy National Day!
Thank you, Xie, Xie.
