help create greater cohesion through information sharing and greater understanding of each
other’s cultures and traditions.

countries which are tied in shared bond of long-lasting friendship. It will also help foster
public opinion in the two countries.

necessary and important, as the challenges posed by fake news and misinformation continue

about China-Pakistan cooperation and enabling more people to understand and support the
friendship between the two countries.

the two countries’ all-weather strategic partnership and their sustainable and everlasting
friendship.

new generations.

further and the “iron-clad” Pakistan-China friendship is a unique term, which is exclusive to
these two nations.

Corridor has been established in Karachi.

and China, connecting minds and strengthening mutual understanding through media,
information sharing and digital platforms.

media organisations, think tanks, scholars, businesses, universities and youth to promote
Pakistan-China cooperation.

tanks, and culture, tourism and youth.

Chinese media organisations and establish mechanisms to counter misinformation through
fact-checking.
Attaullah Tarar said the business and enterprise pillar would promote trade and investment
linkages, while the think-tank pillar would bring depth to the bilateral conversation through
joint research, dialogue and publications.
He said the culture, tourism and youth pillar would strengthen people-to-people contacts and
provide greater opportunities for youth engagement and exchanges between the two
countries.

understanding. He said it will also counter falsehoods with facts, isolation with exchanges,
and mistrust with confidence.
