China and Pakistan will hold an array of activities later this year to celebrate the seventieth anniversary of bilateral diplomatic ties, officials and experts said at an academic seminar held in Shanghai Wednesday.

Despite the Covid-19 pandemic, both sides are confident in hosting about 100 celebratory activities to attract young people of both countries to participate in bilateral cooperation and exchanges.

At the seminar, the Pakistani Ambassador to China, Moin ul Haque, said that the two countries set a model of bilateral relations. This model is based on mutual understanding, respect, trust, support, and cooperation.

Sha Hailin, president of the Shanghai People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries, told the seminar that China and Pakistan aided each other in terms of anti-pandemic supplies since the outbreak of the pandemic, demonstrating the partnership between the two countries. 

It was on May 21, 1951 that China and Pakistan established diplomatic relations.
