IN the epic fight against the COVID-19 terror, China has presented the world with new standards of resilience. Recently, a momentous meeting between Chinese President Xi Jinping and Pakistani President Arif Alvi highlighted the “Golden Rules of Friendship,” setting an example for other countries, both regionally and beyond.
These Golden Rules of Friendship are based on mutual trust and respect, equal-footed cooperation, cognizance on international issues, and very deep understanding on the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), a signature project of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).
The official visit came at a time when both countries needed each other’s support on national and international issues. Pakistani President Arif Alvi, who was on his first-ever visit to China since the PTI government came to power in 2018, met Chinese President Xi Jinping on the crucial occasion when China registered an extraordinary victory against COVID-19 in Wuhan, the then epicenter of the outbreak.
China has seemed to be in the crosshair facing staggering amounts of discrimination. The U.S., on multiple occasions, termed COVID-19 as the “Wuhan Virus” or “Chinese Virus” despite the WHO’s warning. However, the fact is that, with the Chinese spirit, strong will of the leadership, solid national resolve, and well-planned health-oriented SOPs, the country has ended the reign of the epidemic terror in a short span of time. Pakistani President Arif Alvi’s presence on the momentous occasion of victory cheered up the Chinese leadership as well as its people. Pakistan was among the first countries in the world to congratulate its friend on this monumental achievement.
