Karachi: Grand celebrations were held nationwide for Chinese employees of the China Pakistan Economic Corridor to mark the Chinese New Year. Pakistani authorities organized special ceremonies, dinners, and recreational activities to honour their iron brothers.

According to Radio Pakistan, because many Chinese nationals were unable to travel home to be with their families for the festival, these New Year events were conducted with great enthusiasm across various CPEC project sites. Senior Pakistani officials participated in the festivities to demonstrate solidarity and goodwill toward the Chinese citizens.
