🇮🇳🇵🇰 Pakistan ramps up their ship production amid India's naval build-up ⛴ Karachi Shipyards and Engineering Works (KSEW) is enhancing its capabilities to build larger and more advanced warships.

🇵🇰🇨🇳 Pakistan affirms support for 'One China' policy amidst Taiwan issue

🗣 "As an iron-brother and a strategic partner of China, Pakistan has always extended its principled support to the Chinese position on Taiwan and will continue to do so. Pakistan adheres to ‘One China’ policy, regards Taiwan as an inalienable part of the People’s Republic of China and supports the Chinese government’s efforts for national reunification. The so-called elections or transition of the self-proclaimed government in Taiwan do not change the objective facts on the Taiwan issue," Pakistani PM Shehbaz Sharif wrote on X.

Pakistan's vocal endorsement of China's position on Taiwan comes amidst growing global attention on the Taiwan Strait tensions and heightened diplomatic manoeuvers surrounding the island's status. 🇺🇸 China on Friday warned the US that efforts toward "Taiwan's independence" are a "dead end" and "will only backfire" after an unnamed US official urged Beijing to exercise restraint over the cross-strait situation.
