Byline: Col Dr Muhammad Khan - Email: drmk_edu@yahoomail.com Pakistan and China are celebrating 60th anniversary of their bi-lateral relationship. Both countries established their diplomatic relationship in May 1951. In order to reaffirm their long friendship, both countries have declared year-2011, as the year for the celebrations of Pak-China diplomatic relationship. Both countries are holding a series of 'commemorative activities covering fields like politics, economy, culture, education and sports etc'. Under the dynamic leadership of Mao Zedong, Peoples Republic of China came into being from the ashes of civil war between Communists and Nationalists on October 1, 1949. Historically, "In China's Tang dynasty, Hsuan-tsang, an eminent Chinese monk, studied Buddhism in Taxila on his pilgrimage to the west. His sojourn in Pakistan, recounted in a book entitled The Great Tang Dynasty Record of the Western Regions, is a popular account in the history of exchanges between the Chinese and Pakistani people".
