BEIJING: An exquisite and colourful light show was organised at the Badaling Section of China’s iconic Great Wall as part of the celebrations of the 70th anniversary of establishment of diplomatic relations between Pakistan and China. The event was jointly organised by the Embassy of Pakistan in Beijing and People’s Government of Beijing Municipality. The light show featured various formulations of laser lights and slogans to pay tribute to the seven decades of iron brotherhood between Pakistan and China. A large section of the wall was specially lit in national colours of Pakistan and China. Speaking on the occasion, Ambassador Moin ul Haque said that light show at the historic Great Wall of China demonstrated iron-clad friendship between Pakistan and China. Hailing the contributions of several generations of both countries to strengthen bilateral friendship, Ambassador Moin added that Pakistan and China were deepening bilateral cultural and people-to-people exchanges for bequeathing the finest traditions of friendly ties to the younger generations of the two countries. He said that as the token of special friendship to China, Pakistan made a humble contribution for the restoration of a section of the Great Wall in 1980s. “A plaque has been installed there is reminder of that small token of friendship which Pakistan presented to our brethren and sisters in China,” he added. Ambassador Moin remarked that the Great Wall of China will remain etched forever in memories of the two people as the vivid symbol of special ties between Pakistan and China in the all-weather strategic cooperative partnership. “May Pakistan-China friendship enjoy longevity, strength and grandeur like the Great Wall of China,” he said.
