Beijing, 13 December 2023 (WAI): The inauguration of Micro Video Series II commemorating foreign leaders’ ascent of the Great Wall of China was addressed by Pakistan’s Ambassador to China, Khalil Hashmi, on Tuesday.
During the opening, Ambassador Khalil Hashmi characterized the Great Wall memorial as a permanent representation of China’s cultural legacy, tenacity, and the eternal spirit of its people.
The Ambassador highlighted the solid historical and cultural ties between China and Pakistan during her speech at the event. He referred to the Ranikot Fort as Pakistan’s Great Wall.
With a perimeter of over 32 km, Ranikot Fort is thought to be the most enormous Fort in the world. The Fort, also referred to as “The Great Wall of Sindh,” is in the Sindhi region of Jamshoro. The Fort’s walls are comparable to China’s Great Wall.
Khalil Hashmi further underlined the significance of more cooperation and reciprocal exchanges to exhibit and promote the arts, heritage, architecture, and culture.
Ambassador Hashmi has also invited the makers of the Micro Video series to come to Pakistan and take in the country’s rich architectural and cultural legacy. He went on to say that it will be used to strengthen ties between the people of China and Pakistan.
The significance of culture in fostering respect, understanding, and cooperation among individuals with different cultures and traditions was emphasized by Ambassador Hashmi during her attendance at the Embassy College of Beijing’s International Culture Day last month.
