“We enjoy and celebrate together with many in happy times but during difficulties we can only see the real friends coming forward and lending a helping hand,” he remarked on the occasion.  

He observed that China-Pakistan friendship has a long history and the friendship between China and Pakistan has grown stronger at all levels of politics, economy and culture. 

Mahmood Akhtar stated that soon after the outbreak of the new crown epidemic in China, Pakistan had promptly donated epidemic prevention items to China while China was currently helping out Pakistan.
