Abstract

Under the Belt and Road Initiative, the CPEC's construction has gone smoothly; with clear effects on the economic growth of Pakistan and the Sino-Pakistan relationship, some significant transportation and energy projects are in the finishing stage of development. However, it is discovered that cooperation in other areas is given more priority throughout this process than exchanges and cultural understanding between two nations. Thus, the focus of this essay is on the cultural exchange between Pakistan and China. In order to execute CPEP, strengthen the year-round bilateral tactical cooperative association, and further foster a healthy and comprehensive development of bilateral alliance, it is argued that China and Pakistan should greatly increase their cultural exchanges. In order to increase the collective exchange of culture at various levels, a more effective mechanism must be set up, as well as some appropriate and useful measures. This paper will provide some helpful suggestions to address the aforementioned problem.
