After the party’s victory in General Election 2018, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) twitter account on Friday night sent out its first message in Chinese language.
The tweet reiterated Imran Khan’s message from his victory speech. The PTI chief had said he would work on strengthening and improving Pakistan’s relations with China.
“We want to work towards the success of CPEC. We also want to send teams to learn poverty alleviation from China. How to lift our most poor who can’t even eat two meals a day,” the message on Twitter read.
Moreover, the tweet further said, “The second thing we can learn from China is how they curbed corruption and set the example that corruption does not pay.”
我们的目标是加强和改善与中国的关系，我们希望CPEC项目能取得成功，并且希望派遣团队至中国学习扶贫工作，透过学习，能了解如何扶助国内那些最为贫困的底层人口。
我们可以向中国学习的第二件事是如何打击贪腐、杜绝腐败。#中国巴基斯坦加油! https://t.co/Khyfn82WZS— PTI (@PTIofficial) July 27, 2018
Later in the day, a Chinese embassy spokesperson had said remarks made by the PTI chief fully showcased that China-Pakistan friendship was ‘an all-weather one.’
“However, the internal situation in the two countries may evolve, the strategic cooperative partnership will remain unchanged, as this is in the common interests of the two countries,” the statement further read.
The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Saturday released results of all 270 National Assembly (NA) seats that were polled on July 25 across the country. According to the results, the PTI leads the NA tally with 116 seats.
