ISLAMABAD – Chinese enterprises operating in Pakistan have donated more than PKR 34 million to support relief efforts for communities devastated by the 2025 monsoon floods. The contribution was announced during a ceremony organized by the China Chamber of Commerce in Pakistan (CCCPK) at the Mövenpick Hotel in Islamabad on Monday.
Federal Minister for Information & Broadcasting Attaullah Tarar attended the event as Chief Guest, while Mr. Yang Guangyuan, Minister Counsellor at the Chinese Embassy in Pakistan, participated as Guest of Honor. Business leaders, government officials and media representatives were also present.
The donations provided by 31 Chinese companies and one individual contributor will be used to deliver essential supplies, including food, drinking water, blankets, mosquito nets, and waterproof tarpaulins, particularly for regions where winter has intensified relief needs.
In his address, Minister Tarar hailed the Pakistan-China relationship as unique and unwavering, describing China as Pakistan’s “second home.” He praised China’s solidarity during every crisis, highlighting that Pakistan remains among the most climate-vulnerable nations despite contributing less than one percent to global carbon emissions.
Mr. Yang Guangyuan said China had already provided Pakistan with RMB 100 million worth of relief supplies and USD 2 million in cash assistance following the floods. He added that the additional contribution from Chinese enterprises showcases the deep people-to-people friendship between the two countries. He also noted that Pakistan and China will celebrate 75 years of diplomatic relations in 2026, marking an opportunity for strengthened cooperation.
Chairman of CCCPK, Mr. Wang Huihua, said the donation drive launched in September reflects the Chinese business community’s sense of shared responsibility and long-standing support for Pakistan. “Pakistan is not just a workplace for Chinese companies — it is a country we care deeply about,” he stated.
Representatives from Pakistani institutions, including the Pakistan-China Institute and the Board of Investment, expressed gratitude for the timely humanitarian support, calling it another chapter in the “iron-clad friendship” between the two nations.
Honorary certificates were awarded to all donor companies, while China Three Gorges Group extended an additional special contribution during the event. The ceremony concluded with group photographs and acknowledgment of the collective support provided by Chinese enterprises.
CCCPK reaffirmed that Chinese companies will continue their efforts to assist Pakistan in humanitarian and development initiatives.
