Description

China–Pakistan relations, also known as Chinese-Pakistani or Sino–Pakistani relations, refer to the bilateral ties between the Islamic Republic of Pakistan and the People's Republic of China (PRC). Formal diplomatic relations were established in 1950 when Pakistan became one of the first countries to recognize the PRC over the Republic of China (ROC). Since then, their relationship has been exceptionally cordial, driven by similar geopolitical interests. Both nations have prioritized maintaining their "special relationship," marked by frequent high-level visits and numerous cooperative agreements. China has provided Pakistan with significant economic, technical, and military assistance, with both countries viewing each other as close strategic allies.
