Pakistan to Issue Commemorative Coin for 75 Years of Diplomatic Ties with China

Pakistan announced the issuance of a special PKR 75 commemorative coin to mark 75 years of diplomatic relations with China, established in 1951. The coin will be available from May 25, 2026, through State Bank of Pakistan counters. The two countries, described as "all-weather allies," maintain close cooperation in defense, economy, and infrastructure, notably through the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor. Pakistan's leadership recently held events with Chinese representatives, and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif is scheduled to visit China from May 23 to 26 to further strengthen ties.
