Pakistan's Planning Minister Ahsan Iqbal has declared the bond between China and Pakistan is now 'higher than the skies,' marking a cosmic upgrade to their long-standing alliance 🌟. The statement came after he witnessed the launch of the Pakistan Remote-Sensing Satellite (PRSS-1) at China's Xichang Satellite Launch Center on July 31.
"We used to say our friendship was higher than the Himalayas," Iqbal told CGTN Digital after his August 4 visit. "Now, with space cooperation, it's higher than the skies." The satellite project—a collaboration between the two nations—aims to boost environmental monitoring and disaster management capabilities in Pakistan.
This partnership isn't just about rockets 🛰️. It reflects deepening ties in tech and infrastructure under China's Belt and Road Initiative, with young professionals and entrepreneurs in both countries eyeing opportunities in emerging sectors. As Iqbal put it: "When friends reach for the stars together, everyone benefits."
