Abstract
It is necessary to explore Pakistan-China relations in terms of their longterm bilateral contacts, including the history and evolution of their longterm bilateral ties, as well as the factors and environment that led to the consolidation of their strategic dependence. The two nations established diplomatic connections to begin their bilateral relations, which have since developed into close allies. Afterwards, they deepened their engagement with one another and strengthened their strategic reliance, which they nicknamed the "Iron Brothers" partnership. Throughout the course of this study, the foundations of comprehensive cooperation in Pakistan-China relations at various phases of their evolution are examined, as well as the imperatives of interdependence between the two countries. Particular attention is paid to the relevance of China in the increasing dynamics of South Asia, including India's ambitions to gain regional dominance and its connections with other nations, notably the United States, and the significance of China in the rising dynamics of South Asia. According to the conclusion of the talk, the imperatives of regional security, notably the growing Indo-US collaboration, have given rise to new dimensions in Pakistan's relationship with China in the years after September 11, 2001.
Highlights
The Pakistan-China collaboration is a success storey with a lot of promise, with a lot of potentials to meet the demands of changing global and regional geostrategic and geoeconomic circumstances
Pakistan and China's relationship has been revitalised with the formal launch of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor in April 2015, which included the official opening of CPEC projects
Bilateral relations extend much beyond the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), as they contain a wide range of other key characteristics, including political and strategic ones, that are expected to have a bigger influence on contemporary regional and international dynamics
Summary
The Pakistan-China collaboration is a success storey with a lot of promise, with a lot of potentials to meet the demands of changing global and regional geostrategic and geoeconomic circumstances. Pakistan-China relations, which are founded on shared interests, have their own dynamics and are expected to thrive in the future Both countries are very crucial to one another on a strategic level. (Bhatti, 2008) With no question in my mind, this partnership can serve as a model for relationships between any two states in the modern world When it comes to bilateral exchanges, political and strategic aspects have always been the focus – and have continued to be so throughout the decades from 1951 to 1990 – but we are witnessing a shift towards closer and more dynamic economic ties, as well as more robust people-to-people exchanges, in the period following 2000, the first 17 years of the twenty-first century. Even though the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) has grabbed centre stage in the conversation at practically all levels, ties between China and Pakistan need to be understood in a much larger context.
