BEIJING, Feb. 7 (APP): The Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) has delivered a batch of COVID-19 vaccine to the Pakistani military, according to a written statement by China’s Ministry of National Defense here on Sunday.

The statement said that the Pakistani military is the first foreign military to receive the COVID-19 vaccine assistance from the Chinese military.

To realize China’s pledges of making the COVID-19 vaccine as global public goods, and under the request of Pakistani army, the PLA had offered it a batch of COVID-19 vaccines, said the Chinese Ministry of National Defense.

He noted that the Chinese PLA would continue to make contributions to building a global community of health for all.

According to the Global Times, the vaccine offered to Pakistan was produced by Chinese pharmaceutical Sinopharm.

Offering vaccines to the Pakistani military, upon the request, reflected the deep and solid ties between China and Pakistan, said Li Haidong, a professor at the Institute of International Relations of the China Foreign Affairs University, noting that it also reflected the high level of mutual trust.

He said that China first donated vaccines to governments of many developing countries because public was in more urgent need of vaccines than the military.

“Also because the strict management mode within the military, there are far less people infected in the military than among the public,” Li noted.

It is possible that the PLA would continue offering vaccines to more foreign militaries to help their battle against the pandemic, which demonstrated China’s efforts to assist the world to fight the virus in various fields across a wide range, Li stated.

Zhou Bo, former director of the Security Cooperation Center of the Office for International Military Cooperation at China’s Ministry of National Defense, told the Global Times on Sunday said exchanges between militaries were closely linked with their countries’ diplomatic relations.

Last week, the first batch of 500,000 China-assisted COVID-19 vaccines arrived in Pakistan, 10 days after Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi promised Pakistan that China would assist Pakistan with vaccines and accelerated vaccines exports to the country.

In addition to Pakistan, China has provided vaccine assistance to 13 developing countries, including Nepal, Myanmar and Sri Lanka. It also planed to offer assistance to 38 more developing countries, Wang Wenbin, spokesperson for China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said at the routine press conference on February 1.

Pakistan has achieved another proud milestone in its space journey with the successful launch of the PRSE-EO2 satellite into orbit. This achievement reflects Pakistan’s growing strength in science, technology, and national capability, proving that the country is steadily advancing in modern space development.

The PRSE-EO2 satellite is designed to support Pakistan in multiple critical areas, including earth observation, mapping, environmental monitoring, and national development planning. With this satellite in space, Pakistan will be able to improve its ability to collect accurate data for agriculture, water management, urban planning, disaster monitoring, and climate-related challenges.

This success is a strong reminder that space technology is no longer a luxury—it is a necessity for nations that want to grow in the modern world. Satellites play an important role in helping countries manage their resources, respond to natural disasters, and strengthen national security through better monitoring and planning.

The successful launch of PRSE-EO2 also sends a positive message to Pakistan’s youth. It shows that Pakistan has the talent and potential to compete in advanced fields such as aerospace engineering, satellite technology, and artificial intelligence-driven systems. Such achievements inspire young minds to pursue careers in science and innovation, strengthening the country’s future.

Pakistan’s progress in space technology is not only a matter of national pride but also a strategic step toward long-term development. As the world becomes more data-driven, satellite-based information will be a powerful tool for smarter governance and faster progress.

The launch of PRSE-EO2 proves one clear reality: Pakistan is not standing still. Pakistan is moving forward. And with each successful mission, the nation strengthens its position as a country capable of innovation, modern research, and high-tech achievement.

This moment is a victory for Pakistan’s scientists, engineers, and institutions—and a hopeful sign for the future of a stronger, smarter, and more advanced Pakistan.

Kashmir Day: A Voice for Dignity, Peace, and Justice

Published

Every year on 5th February, Pakistan observes Kashmir Day to express solidarity with the people of Jammu and Kashmir. For many, it is a national tradition. But for those who understand the human reality behind the issue, it is far more than that. Kashmir Day is a reminder that millions of people still live with uncertainty, restrictions, and a future that remains unresolved.

As AikQaum, we believe Kashmir is not simply a political dispute. It is a human story. Behind every news report are families, children, students, and ordinary people who want what every human being wants: safety, dignity, and a peaceful life. Kashmir Day matters because silence does not reduce suffering. When the world stops speaking about Kashmir, the pain does not disappear—it only becomes less visible.

For Pakistan, Kashmir is an emotional and moral responsibility. It is tied to shared history, shared identity, and a deep sense of connection. But this responsibility must be carried with wisdom. Support for Kashmir should not be expressed through hatred or extreme language. It should be expressed through dignity, truth, and consistent advocacy based on human rights and international principles.

In today’s world, the Kashmir issue is also a battle of narratives. Misinformation spreads quickly, and emotional reactions often replace facts. This is where Pakistan’s youth have a powerful role. Young Pakistanis can support Kashmir by sharing verified information, raising awareness responsibly, and keeping the conversation alive in a way that the world can respect. A cause becomes stronger when it is represented with discipline and humanity.

Kashmir Day also reminds Pakistan of the importance of unity. A divided nation cannot carry a moral cause effectively. If Pakistan wants the world to listen, Pakistan must first stand together. Unity is not only a national value—it is a strategic necessity.

To the people of Kashmir, AikQaum’s message is clear: you are not forgotten. Your voices matter. Your courage is respected. Your future is important. Pakistan’s solidarity is not limited to one day; it is a long-term commitment rooted in conscience and shared humanity.

Kashmir Day is ultimately a day of conscience. It is a reminder that justice must be pursued with patience, wisdom, and peace. At AikQaum, we stand with Kashmir—firmly, respectfully, and with the belief that no people should remain unheard forever.
