Pakhtunkhwa Time
Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao concluded his three day visit to Pakistan with historic address to Parliament on Sunday.
"Pakistan is a great nation and I feel I am at home here. The Pakistan-China friendship is in our blood. This is an evergreen friendship. The exemplary friendship between the two countries is higher than the Himalayas and deeper than the ocean." Wen Jiabao. Wen recalled a Pakistan saying, "A good neighbour is Allah's blessing", and narrated a parallel Chinese quote: "Value your neighbour more than your relatives living far away."
His address was a clear proof that the Chinese leaders were fully abreast of the challenges being faced by Pakistan as he pointed out that in recent years in the face of complex external environment and several challenges, Pakistan has remained committed to an independent foreign policy and firmly safeguarded its sovereignty.
It is because of the special nature of the relationship between the two countries that the Chinese leader received extraordinary protocol right from the entrance of his special aircraft into Pakistani airspace when two JF-17 thunder aircraft, one of the shining symbols of friendship as the fighter has been jointly produced by the two countries, escorted the distinguished guest. Apart from the traditional meetings with the President and Prime Minister, Chinese Premier met with leaders of all political parties of Pakistan. Rather, it was a rare mosaic of Pakistani political, religious, and territorial leadership gathering to welcome their all time friend in Islamabad. This gathering was indicative of the fact that, there exists no second opinion about Pakistan’s relationship with the People’s Republic of China. No global leader ever has such a reception and united response and indeed a spirit of love from Pakistan ever.
Following the establishment of Pak-China diplomatic relationship in May 1951, both countries has attained many milestones in their bi-lateral relationship. Pakistan, otherwise among the first few countries, which recognized this great communist state, proved its friendship by making strong lobby in getting the UN membership for China. The initial slow pace of mutual understanding got an impetus following the Sino-India war of 1962. In the era of Field Martial Muhammad Ayub, then Foreign Minister (later Prime Minister), Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto formalised this relationship on the strategic direction. Through his strategic vision, he made Pak-China relationship as an essential and never changing pillar of the Foreign Policy of Pakistan.
Even the most sceptical reader of reports of the visit by Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao to our shores would have to concede that it has exceeded expectations. International relations are never entirely static, they are shifting all the time, and nobody is a ‘forever friend’. To paraphrase Lord Palmerston - ‘Nations have no permanent friends and no permanent enemies. Only permanent interests’.
China's massive investment in this time proves two things. One is that China is a genuine ally of Pakistan, and second, it is a clear signal to the U.S. that if the U.S. supports India against China, China will support Pakistan. China is the main supplier of defence and military hardware to Pakistan. China has also helped Pakistan to build its main nuclear power generation facility and is helping build another one.
$20 billion of trade deals were made, a further $10 billion worth of deals were inked on Wen Jiabao visit to Pakistan and Chinese have gifted us a Pak-China friendship centre worth Rs2.5 billion. This landmark buildings in the federal capital, is a reflection of the deep rooted friendship between Pakistan and China. China has pledged to help resuscitate our energy sector – we only produce about 80 per cent of the electricity we need – and over the next five years 36 projects will be completed. A one-gigawatt nuclear power plant that, if built, could produce 8,000 megawatts of electricity by 2025.
Strengthening and promoting strategic, brotherly relations is our joint strategic choice and they are in the interests of two countries and their people. We should honour our ally by demonstrating that their confidence was not misplaced. The two Asian nations are close, friendly neighbors linked by common mountains and rivers, as well as all-weather strategic partners, and their multi-dimensional cooperation is built on the basis of mutual understanding, mutual trust and mutual support. In spite of changes that occurred in the regional and international environment, the friendship between Pakistan and China is time-tested and has turned increasingly firmer and much more solid as time goes by and is deep-rooted in the hearts and ethos of people of the two nations.
Win-win economic ties and friendly business relations is another area which will further cement the relations. Chinese government has always encouraged Chinese private entrepreneurs to invest in Pakistan in all areas, especially in energy sector. Pakistan would be well advised to seize this opportunity and gradually abandon its total dependence on the US and their exploitative tool the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and free itself from taking dictation from them.
The question here is whether our West-leaning leadership is prepared to pick up the hint and cast our lot with China. China is, indeed, a peace-loving country and it has neither bullied its smaller neighbours nor has it ever tried to extend hegemony over other countries. It is more interested in improving its economy rather than engaging itself in any military entanglement because economic strength can help increase military strength.
Here in Pakistan, where the security establishment has prevented the expansion of economic ties with India until there is some movement on political and security issues, the Chinese example ought to be studied. China has benefited enormously by treating economic needs separately from security concerns. Why can't Pakistan do the same?
Unfortunately, there are no indications that we have learnt anything from our Chinese friends by witnessing the economic miracles taking place there. Economy remains the least priority and the entire focus is on politicking and as a consequence even after 63 years of independence, we are still out with begging bowl. It is time we reorder our priorities, work hard like Chinese and devote fullest possible attention to achieve economic break through. Chinese have time and again demonstrated that they firmly stood by us and are eager to provide necessary assistance in this regard and it is now for us to exploit the opportunity to our advantage.
巴基斯坦中国友好万岁
他的讲话是一个清楚地证明了中国领导人的挑战，充分了解被巴基斯坦面临着他指出，在复杂的外部环境和面临一些挑战，近年来，巴基斯坦一直坚定不移地奉行独立自主的外交政策，坚定不移地维护其主权。这是因为两国之间的领导人说，中国从接收到巴基斯坦领空的飞机在他的特别权力关系的入口非常特殊性质的协议时，二架JF -17雷电飞机，作为友谊的光辉战斗机的标志之一已共同制作的两个国家，陪同贵宾。
中国总理温家宝结束地址与历史上周日他的三个议会天的访问的巴基斯坦。“巴基斯坦是一个伟大的国家，我觉得我在家里就在这里。巴基斯坦和中国的友谊是在我们的血液。友谊，这是一种常绿。两国之间的友谊是典范比喜马拉雅山还高，比海深。“温家宝。温家宝说一个巴基斯坦说：“一个好邻居是真主的祝福“，并讲述一个平行中引述：“珍惜你的邻居比你的生活更遥远的亲戚。“
相反，它是一个巴基斯坦的政治，宗教，领土等所有聚会，欢迎他们在伊斯兰堡的老朋友领导罕见的马赛克。这次聚会是一个事实，即不存在对巴基斯坦的与人民共和国的关系，中国第二意见的指示。没有全球性的领导者曾经有这样的接待和统一的反应，确实是从巴基斯坦的爱永远的精神。继1951年5月的柏林中国建交，这两个国家已经达到了双边关系的许多里程碑。巴基斯坦，证明并非如此首批少数几个国家，承认这个伟大的共产主义国家，通过在中国获得了强大的游说联合国会员国的友谊。
最初的相互了解步伐缓慢的推动下得到了一个1962年中印战争。在外地武术穆罕默德阿尤布，当时的外交部长（后来的首相）的时代，阿里布托确立了长期的战略方向的关系。通过他的战略眼光，他伯中国作为一个基本和永不改变的巴基斯坦外交政策的支柱的关系。即使是在由中国总理温家宝访问我们的海岸大部分报告持怀疑态度的读者将不得不承认，它已经超出了预期。国际关系从来没有完全静态的，他们将所有的时间，没有人是'永远的朋友'。
套用帕默斯顿勋爵- '国家间没有永远的朋友也没有永远的敌人。只有永久的利益。中国在这个时候大量投资证明了两件事情。之一是，中国是巴基斯坦真正的盟友，二，这是一个明确的信号，美国说，如果美国支持中国对印度，中国支持巴基斯坦。中国的国防和军事装备给巴基斯坦的主要供应商。中国还帮助巴基斯坦建造核能发电的主要设施，并帮助建立一个又一个。200亿美元的贸易协议进行了，再100亿美元的交易总值就温家宝访问巴基斯坦和中国签署了天才我们伯中国友谊中心价值Rs2.5亿元。在联邦首都这一里程碑式的建筑，是中国和巴基斯坦两国间深厚的友谊根深蒂固的思考。中国已承诺协助抢救我们的能源部门 -我们只生产大约百分之八十的电力，我们需要-在未来五年将完成36个项目年。阿一亿瓦的核电站，如果建成，到2025年可以生产8000兆瓦的电力。
加强和促进战略，兄弟般的关系是我们共同的战略选择，他们在两国和两国人民的利益。我们要履行我们通过展示他们的信心是没有错的盟友。这两个亚洲国家的接近，由山水相连，以及全天候的战略合作伙伴的友好邻邦，他们的多层面的合作是建立在相互理解，相互信任和相互支持基础之上的。在变化，在地区和国际环境发生尽管如此，巴基斯坦和中国之间的友谊是经过时间考验的，并随着时间的日益转向更坚定，更扎实的推移，是深中的心和人民的精神扎根两个国家。
双赢的经济关系和友好的业务关系，是另一个领域，将进一步巩固关系。中国政府一贯鼓励中国民营企业家投资巴基斯坦在各个领域特别是在能源部门。巴基斯坦将被建议抓住这一机遇，逐步放弃完全依赖于美国和剥削的工具，国际货币基金组织（IMF）和免费的市民从这里them.The听写本身的问题是，是否我们的亲西方的领导准备拿起心领神会，铸有中国自己的命运。
中国确实是一个爱好和平的国家，它没有欺负它的小邻国也从未试图扩大对其他国家的霸权。它更在改善经济，而不是纠缠从事任何军事本身的经济实力，因为可以帮助增加军事实力感兴趣。在这里，在巴基斯坦，那里的安全机构已无法与印度的经贸关系发展，直到有一定的政治和安全问题的运动，中国的例子应该加以研究。中国受益很大的安全问题来对待，从经济需求分开。巴基斯坦为什么不能这样做？
不幸的是，没有迹象表明我们从中国朋友那里听说了什么目睹那里正在发生的经济奇迹。经济仍然是最不优先和重点的整个政治活动并因此即使在独立63年来，我们仍然没有用乞讨的碗。现在是我们调整我们的优先事项，工作努力，投入像中国最大可能的关注，以实现经济突破。中国已多次表明，他们坚定地站在我们都渴望在这方面提供必要的援助，现在是我们利用我们的优势的机会。
