Abstract
Pakistan relations with China remain a cornerstone of Pakistan’s foreign Policy. Their
common views, perceptions, approaches, and policies at the regional and global level made
them a durable friends, allies and partners. Their hostility towards India, their support each
other in wars against India, and the conclusion of different agreements further strengthened
their bilateral mutual relations between these two countries. And above all, China’s moral,
diplomatic, political, financial, and military support since 1971 proved a great source of
consolation and encouragement to Pakistan in the difficult hours. In the changing global
scenario since 9/11, witnessed drastic improvement in Sino-Pak military and strategic
relations. Exchange of visits by high leaderships and other dignitaries, their growing
coordination in Indian Ocean, Arabian Sea, Persian Gulf and Gwadar, the signing of naval
and military agreements, their missiles and nuclear cooperation, provided both the countries
with opportunity to counterweight India’s growing hegemony and supremacy. On her part,
India is trying its best to frustrate the growing Sino- Pak Defence nexus by using a variety
of tactics in order to protect and safeguard her interest in the region
