The Chinese cultural center China Window, based in Peshawar, has produced a special Pashto song to commemorate the 75th anniversary of diplomatic relations and enduring friendship between Pakistan and the People's Republic of China.

The music video was filmed at the historic Takht-i-Bahi, a UNESCO-recognized archaeological site and an important center of the ancient Gandhara civilization, according to a Gwadar Pro's report.

The location holds special cultural significance because of the historical links between Gandhara heritage and ancient Chinese Buddhist travelers who visited the region centuries ago

The song has been penned by renowned Pashto poet Professor Dr. Abaseen Yousafzai, whose thoughtful and poetic lyrics have given the project a timeless emotional appeal.

Amjad Aziz Malik, Administrator of China Window, directed the production, while the music was composed by celebrated musician Gohar Jan.

The song has been beautifully rendered by internationally acclaimed singers from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Dr. Irfan Khalil and Yamsa Noor, whose vocals add emotional depth and artistic richness to the composition.

According to organizers, the song blends traditional Pashto musical elements with modern arrangements to appeal to audiences in both Pakistan and China.

The formal launching ceremony of the song will be held on May 20 in Islamabad, where distinguished personalities from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Islamabad,and the academia, media, and representatives of the Chinese Embassy are expected to participate.
