Future of Pakistan–China Relations

Abstract

The relationship between Pakistan and China has held up as a model of friendly relations between two countries having different social systems. Since 1963, when the two countries signed a Boundary Agreement, thus removing only potential cause of differences, their friendship and range of cooperation has grown with each passing year. The two have stood together in the face of many challenges, so that their friendship is described as an all- weather friendship". This friendship has endured because it is based on common principles and interests.
