Alhamdulillah with the help of Allah, despite fervent efforts by the American Puppet Government sitting in Islamabad, Pakistan brilliantly resolved the border dispute with China and formalized an eternal of friendship. This is something that India was unable to do. China and Pakistan continue to cooperate in multiple projects which cover defense, energy and industry. Most recently China has agreed on supplying a One Giga-Watt nuclear electronic power plant to Pakistan to overcome the increasing energy requirements of the country.

As an emerging superpower, it China can bank on Pakistan to get access to the warm waters of the Arabian Sea. This is what the boundary pact of March 2, 1963, accomplished, according to Fravel: “China maintained control over more of the disputed territory, but the agreement overall was more favourable to Pakistan. China kept roughly 5,309 square kilometres it contested in the Shaksgam valley. However, it transferred control of some 1,942 square kilometres of territory in the Oprang valley to Pakistan, which also maintained control over an additional 1,554 square kilometres of territory it already held.

On balance, Pakistan seems to have gained more from the deal, as the final borderline followed closely the line of actual control advocated by Pakistan. China not only abandoned its claims to the Hunza, but Pakistan also received grazing areas in the Prang and Bund Darwaza valleys, the Kharachanai salt mine, and the town of Sokh Bulaq. In addition, Pakistan kept control over three-fourths of K2 as well as six of seven disputed mountain passes. Finally, Pakistan transferred no territory already under its control to China. More than any other dispute, China’s compromise with Pakistan was linked to the China-India conflict.
Upon discovering the forward policy, China moved to open talks with Pakistan despite rebuffing earlier Pakistani efforts toward negotiation dating from the late 1950s.” Four field teams surveyed the border, erecting 40 boundary markers. Demarcation work was completed and a protocol signed.
