Four Chinese dignitaries were conferred civil awards by Pakistan for their efforts in strengthening China-Pakistan economic cooperation, cultural exchanges and promoting trade and investment between the two nations.

On behalf of the president of Pakistan, the Pakistani Embassy in Beijing held a special ceremony for the four in recognition of their friendship with Pakistan and their strengthening of China-Pakistan relations on December 6.

Xu Shaoshi, former director of the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), Li Xuedong, former director general of the International Cooperation Department of the NDRC, and Wang Xiaotao, head of the newly established International Development Cooperation Agency, were recognized for their efforts in promoting the construction of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), one of the flagship projects under the Belt and Road Initiative. Lin Yi, Vice President of the Chinese People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries, was awarded for her efforts to promote bilateral relations, especially among the youth of both countries, which is indispensable for ensuring the continuity of the historic relationship across generations.

With the steady progress made in the joint construction of CPEC over the past years, the two sides have been able to deliver tangible benefits to the peoples of both countries.
