　?。ˋpril 17th, 2018. Beijing）

At the time of the fifth anniversary of the Belt & Road Initiative put forward by Chinese President Xi Jinping in 2013, China's Guangming Daily, Pakistan's Jang Media Group and All Pakistan Newspapers Association held the China & Pakistan Media Forum in Beijing, China on April 17th, 2018. The subject of the forum is Belt & Road Initiative and the Building of a Community with a Shared Future for China and Pakistan.

The China & Pakistan Media Forum is a platform for the media from China and Pakistan to cover and discuss topics of interest to the audiences from both countries. Through keynote speeches and presentations, interactions and communication in various ways at the forum, we have reached the consensus as follows:

1. We believe that the building of a community with a shared future for mankind proposed by President Xi Jinping reflects the brand new pursuit of human social values, and meets the requirements for development. It is under this idea that the Belt & Road Initiative offers opportunities for deeper cooperation among countries along the routes in the new era and injects energetic driving forces to the development of the whole world. The Belt & Road Initiative is an important measure to realize the notion of a community with a shared future for mankind. We will conform to the trend of the times and promote world peace and development.

2. We propose that, in line with the spirit of the Silk Road, which is peace and cooperation, openness and inclusiveness, mutual learning and mutual benefit, the media from China and Pakistan cooperate with each other to make comprehensive, truthful, accurate, objective and fair news reporting and play a constructive role in promoting mutual understanding and trust in the process of communication and interaction between people of the two countries.
