Pakistani Ambassador to China Moin ul Haque delivers a speech at the unveiling ceremony of the replica of Alamgiri Gate in Beijing, capital of China, Oct. 31, 2023.
BEIJING, Nov. 2 (Xinhua) -- Pakistani Ambassador to China Moin ul Haque on Tuesday unveiled a newly constructed replica of Pakistan's Alamgiri Gate at the World Park in Beijing.
Alamgiri Gate is the entrance of the UNESCO world heritage site Lahore Fort, which was built by the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb in the 17th century in Lahore, Pakistan.
Over the recent months, this is the second replica of a Pakistani monument unveiled in China as part of the efforts to further strengthen bilateral cultural and people-to-people ties. The Embassy of Pakistan in China organized a befitting ceremony to celebrate the occasion.
Speaking at the ceremony, Haque highlighted the historical significance of Alamgiri Gate and hoped that the replica would serve as a symbol of the exemplary China-Pakistan friendship.
Pakistan and China are celebrating 2023 as a year of tourism, and the replica would attract Chinese tourists to visit historical and cultural sites in Pakistan, according to Haque.
Highlighting the time-honored relationship between the two countries, the Ambassador emphasized the key role of cultural cooperation in promoting mutual trust and strengthening strategic cooperative partnership between China and Pakistan.
A large number of Chinese scholars, media persons and members of the Pakistani community attended the ceremony. (Edited by Yu Huichen with Xinhua Silk Road, yuhuichen@xinhua.org)
