2016年是中巴友好年，標志著兩國建立戰略伙伴關系65周年，這將加速兩國經濟、防務、核能和人文等各領域合作。

兩國舉行了多項活動慶祝兩國友好關系成立2周年，這在近代國家和民間交往史上都是獨一無二的。

值此中巴兩國慶祝建交2周年之際，中國音樂、歌曲、舞蹈、雜技等節目在巴基斯坦首都伊斯蘭堡上演。

To observe the significant moment, a gala was staged at the Pak-China Friendship Center Sunday. Sun Weidong, China's Ambassador to Pakistan, opened the event with a speech emphasizing the importance of cultural exchange.

多年來，兩國領導人一直將兩國友好關系描述為全天候、歷久彌堅、比海深、比喜馬拉雅山高、比蜂蜜甜，最近又將其描述為戰略性、比鋼鐵更堅固。這些表述并非簡單的陳詞濫調，而是真實反映了兩國關系在過去 2 年中建立起來的強度、深度和成熟度。

這一非凡關系的發展歸功于兩國領導人的遠見，他們把這種關系建立在和平共處、共同利益以及對地區和全球發展的共同看法的原則之上。

21年1951月1日，中巴正式建立外交關系，巴基斯坦是最早承認中國的國家之一，揭開了中巴友好合作歷史的新篇章。發展中巴戰略伙伴關系得到兩國領導人和人民的衷心支持。

As friendly neighbours, China and Pakistan maintain close communication and coordination on international and regional issues of common concerns. China has always firmly supported Pakistan's development and implementation of anti-terrorism security strategy based on its national conditions.

Pakistan firmly supports China on the issues of Taiwan, Tibet, Xinjiang and other issues concerning China's core interests. China also firmly supports Pakistan in safeguarding its independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity.

近年來，兩國領導人互訪頻繁，侯賽因總統和謝里夫總理兩次訪華，同中方領導人就雙邊關系等重大問題達成重要共識。

經濟合作：

China has become Pakistan's 2nd largest trading partner, while Pakistan becomes China's largest investment destination in South Asia with total bilateral trade reached at 18 billion US dollars. Positive developments were registered in previous years as trade volume between the 2 sides grew from $5.7bn to $100.11bn during a 15-year period from 2000 to 2015 while total value of contracts signed between the 2 in this period went from $1.8bn to $150.8bn. The construction of 46 billion US dollars China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is progressing well and covers all areas including energy, finance, information and communications

防務合作：

在國防領域，中國與巴基斯坦的合作非常寶貴，涉及三個軍種。中國協助巴基斯坦建立了巴基斯坦航空綜合體、塔克西拉重型工業公司、巴基斯坦軍械工廠的幾條生產線，以及海軍和導彈工廠的海上項目?？防陌突固购娇站C合體、重型鍛造和鑄造廠、重型機械綜合體、塔克西拉重型重建工廠和卡拉奇的巴基斯坦鋼廠就是更多這樣的例子。卡姆拉航空綜合體生產的 JF-3 雷電戰斗機是兩國之間具有里程碑意義的合作。

核合作:

China has been a strong vocal and avid supporter of Pakistan's nuclear power generation for peaceful purposes. CHASNUPP-I is the commercial nuclear power plant in Punjab set up with Chinese assistance by its CNNC (China National Nuclear Corporation) under International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) safeguards. Construction of CHASNUPP-II started in December 2005.

文化關系：

Both states have given importance to cultural relations to increase people-to-people cooperation through exchange of cultural troupes. China appreciates Pakistan's effort to expand Chinese language and Confucius Institutes in Pakistan.

未來隨著經濟合作的不斷深入，勢必會加速數控雕刻機的發展，增加數控雕刻機的出口訂單。
