In his message on the International Day of Chinese language observed on Saturday, the Prime Minister said China had made its mark around the world due to its economic development.

“Chinese culture and language are rapidly becoming popular all over the world. Chinese has become the major language of communication around the world. The United Nations has also included the Chinese language in the official languages of communication,” he mentioned.

PM Sharif highlighted that all possible measures were being taken at the public and private level to promote Chinese language and literature in Pakistan in order to further strengthen bilateral relations between the two countries.
