On May 21, 2026, a Chinese cultural exhibition themed “Enduring Culture, Profound Friendship,” hosted by the Consulate General of China in Lahore, opened successfully at Lahore Museum to mark the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Pakistan. Consul General Sun Yan and Senior Minister of Punjab Ms. Marriyum Aurangzeb attended and addressed the ceremony.

    CG Sun reviewed the millennium-old ties and 75 years of ironclad friendship between China and Pakistan, noting that the All-Weather Strategic Cooperation has yielded fruitful results and the two countries have set an example for friendly state-to-state relations. He expressed his hope that the exhibition would serve as an opportunity to deepen people-to-people and cultural exchanges, carry forward the traditional friendship, and build an even closer China-Pakistan community with a shared future in the new era.

    Ms. Aurangzeb stated that the ironclad 75-year Pakistan-China friendship, “higher than mountains, deeper than oceans, sweeter than honey”, owes much to the guidance of the leaders of both countries. She believed the exhibition would help Pakistani youth better understand and appreciate Chinese culture, ensuring the friendship is passed down through generations in Punjab.

    Guests in attendance marveled at the profound and extensive Chinese culture and wished that the China-Pakistan friendship would last forever. The exhibition is open to the public and will run for one month.
