Military Dailies on Regional Security Between Pakistan-China

Establishing a Strategic Resilient Coalition

General Zhang Youxia, Vice Chairman of China’s Central Military Commission (CMC), began a public tour to Pakistan showing severed bilateral ties. This active involvement highlights the continuous cooperation between the two nations under changing regional and global dynamics.

Inspired by a distinguished delegation, General Zhang contacted Army Chief of Pakistan General Asim Munir. Their conversations addressed important concerns pertinent to the interests of both countries: counter-terrorism, regional security, and defense cooperation.

Combining Against Terrorism

The talks mostly focused on counter-terrorism, particularly in view of the rising frequency of strikes targeted against Pakistani Chinese residents. General Zhang underlined the need of continuous cooperation to guarantee the safety of Chinese people engaged on important projects under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) and praised Pakistan’s continuous efforts to fight terrorism.

Studies show China is keen to engage more actively in protecting its people overseas, but Pakistan’s Foreign Office emphasizes that the cooperation is grounded on mutual respect of sovereignty.

Generally speaking, issues are regional security and stability

The two sides also dug deeper into more general regional issues including Afghanistan’s security scene and India’s activities. Growing concerns over the presence of terrorist organizations in the region, the discussions exposed the will of both nations to preserve peace and stability.

Part of their defense cooperation, Chinese troops are participating in *Warrior-VIII*, a combined military exercise organized by Pakistan. Running until mid-December, the exercise stresses on raising operational capability against terrorism. Such initiatives expose the degree of military-to–military contacts between the two strategic allies.

Improvement of Military Cooperation

General Asim Munir pointed out China’s continuous support of Pakistan in many spheres. He underlined how the two nations’ cooperation not only survived but thrived in face of shifting geopolitical conditions.

General Zhang answered by underlining China’s will to improve bilateral relations and appreciating Pakistan’s dedication to long-term cooperation.

Reflecting shared hopes to deepen practical cooperation and solve mutual security challenges, the visit marks still another turning point in Pakistan-China relations. Islamabad’s strategic cooperation with Beijing is still essential for advancing peace, stability, and development in South Asia even as regional dynamics change.

By stressing cooperative counter-terrorism projects and enhanced defense cooperation a lighthouse of stability in a world becoming more uncertain Pakistan and China are renewing their lifetime friendship.
