Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Information and Broadcasting, Dr. Firdous Ashiq Awan has said the bilateral relations between Pakistan and China are gaining strength with each passing year.   

Felicitating the people of China on the occasion of Chinese New Year, she tweeted that the friendship with China is our great asset.   

Firdous Ashiq Awan pointed out that China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is another bright manifestation of everlasting friendship between the two countries.

She said the CPEC has entered into the second phase under which special economic zones will be set up.  She said these zones will give impetus to exports, promote local industries and help achieve sustainable economic growth.   

Firdous Ashiq Awan said China has always stood by Pakistan in the hour of trial.  On Kashmir dispute, she said China emphatically supported Pakistan's principled position.
