Yes, in the 17th century, when Britain was still an empire, India and Pakistan were one country, occupied as a colony by the British, and later India became independent, but it was divided into two countries, India and Pakistan, which belonged to the British Commonwealth, and also created Kashmir, laying the groundwork for the future conflict between India and Pakistan

Yes, Pakistan belongs to the British Commonwealth, which was the decline of British national power after World War II, and originally belonged to the British colony - India, which was allowed to be independent by the British, but was forcibly divided into two countries, namely: Pakistan and India.

Later, East Pakistan was instigated by Indian conspiracy to become independent and form Bangladesh, and Pakistan's territory was further reduced.

The Commonwealth of Nations is made up of 53 independent states, most of which are former colonies of the British Empire, headed by Queen Elizabeth II, who is also the head of state of the Commonwealth Commonwealth.

Pakistan was a member, but its membership was suspended for four years, reinstated in May 2004, but suspended until May of the following year in November 2007 due to a state of emergency.

Yes. Recall that Pakistan was a participating country at the Commonwealth Games.

Yes, just look at the flag.

Pakistan is even the only country where China has no defense on the border, and the relationship between Chinese and Pakistani soldiers patrolling the border is so good that they even rub each other's food.

In 1966, China and Pakistan decided to build the Karakoram Highway when they found that the transportation between the two countries was inconvenient and that it was very difficult to exchange goods and personnel.

In order to assist Pakistan in building roads in this poor area, a total of 88 staff members were sacrificed, and after the construction was finally completed, Pakistan also built a martyr's cemetery to commemorate the workers who sacrificed for the friendship between China and Pakistan.

The Pakistani people have always been grateful after receiving so much help from China. Whenever a major disaster strikes our country, the people of Pakistan will always do their best to help us as soon as possible.

In 2008, when the Wenchuan ** natural disaster occurred in China, the Pakistani people immediately used the only four transport planes in the country to empty a total of 22,260 reserve tents in China to support our country.

In 2020, when a serious new crown epidemic broke out in my country, as soon as Pakistan learned of the news, it began to raise medical supplies across the country, and packaged and donated all the strategic reserves in warehouses, even in hospital warehouses, to China.

Relations between the two countries:

The relationship between the two countries is not only officially recognized, but also by the private sector. We Chinese affectionately call Pakistan "Pakistani Railway" on the Internet, and Pakistanis even openly declare in textbooks that "China is Pakistan's most hardcore ally".

Origin

Speaking to Canada on Dominion Day in 1959, Queen Elizabeth II noted that Canada's formation of the Commonwealth on 1 July 1867 meant the birth of "the first independent state of the British Empire".

"It also represents the beginning of the free association of independent nations now known as the Commonwealth," she declared. However, as early as 1884, when Lord Rosebury visited Australia, he had the idea of changing the British Empire into an Imperial Confederation as some of the British Empire's colonies became more independent.

The first meeting of the heads of state of Britain and the colonies was held in 1887 to lay the groundwork for the establishment of the Imperial Conference in 1911.

The Commonwealth grew out of the Imperial Conference. A specific proposal was made by Jan Scott in 1917, when he coined the term "Commonwealth" and envisioned "future constitutional relations and spiritual adjustments" at the 1919 Paris Peace Conference.

The term "British Commonwealth" was first legally recognized by the United Kingdom in the Anglo-Irish Treaty of 1921, when the Irish Free State members used the term "British Commonwealth" instead of the "British Empire" when they were sworn in as Members of Parliament.
