Vice Premier Wang Yang is undertaking the visit to Pakistan on the directions of President Xi Jinping as a special gesture to participate in the 70th Independence Day Celebrations of Pakistan. His visit on this important milestone for Pakistan is a reflection of the all-weather strategic cooperative partnership between Pakistan and China. 

In March, a contingent of the guard of honor of the three services of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) took part in the Pakistan military parade held in Islamabad to mark the Pakistan Day.

The special visit of Vice Premier Wang underscores the close brotherly and cooperative ties between Pakistan and China and China’s strong political support for Pakistan.

During his visit, the Vice Premier will attend the flag-hoisting ceremony on 14th August as a special guest, and call on the President. He will also call on the Prime Minister. He will participate in the inauguration ceremony of China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) projects and witness the signing of bilateral MoUs/Agreements between the two countries.
