ISLAMABAD: The upper house of Parliament unanimously passed a resolution appreciating the assistance provided by China amid the country’s fight against coronavirus, while also repudiating the propaganda against China from several quarters, on Thursday.
Taking note of China’s strong support and timely assistance to Pakistan during the current COVID-19 crisis, the Senate expressed its deep appreciation to the Chinese government and the Chinese people for their unflinching role as “all-weather friend” of Pakistan.
“China’s support to Pakistan has helped combat COVID-19 by protecting our people and saving lives as well as providing our health workers with testing kits, protective gears and ventilators at a time when these were badly needed plus sending medical teams,” the resolution said.
It also praised the current Chinese government led by President Xi Jinping for taking “decisive and timely measures” to combat the virus in the country.
The resolution was moved by the Leader of the Opposition Raja Zafar-ul-Haq and unanimously approved by the Senators from both the Opposition as well as government benches.
