In 1950, Pakistan was among the first countries to recognize the People's Republic of China (PRC). Following the Sino-Indian hostilities of 1962, Pakistan's relations with China became stronger; since then, the countries have regularly exchanged high-level visits resulting in various agreements. China has provided economic, military, and technical assistance to Pakistan. Favorable relations with China have been a pillar of Pakistan's foreign policy. The PRC strongly supported Pakistan's opposition to Soviet involvement in Afghanistan and is perceived by Pakistan as a regional counterweight to India and Russia.

In 1986, Benazir Bhutto, daughter of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and his heir as head of the Pakistan People’s party (PPP), returned to the country. In May, 1988, Zia dismissed parliament, charging it with widespread corruption, and announced general elections for November. In August, Zia died in a mysterious plane crash. The PPP won the November elections, and Bhutto became prime minister. Despite a strong power base, Bhutto encountered numerous problems in office, including regional ethnic clashes, the difficulties of the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan, and long-term tensions caused by Pakistan’s poverty and its uneasy relationship with India. In Aug., 1990, President Ghulam Ishaq Khan dismissed Bhutto and her cabinet, accusing them of misconduct and abuse of power.

Children in Pakistan face a variety of serious challenges ranging from malnutrition and poor access to education and health facilities to exploitation in the form of child labour. Their low status in society can leave them victim to daily violence at home and in school as well as to organised trafficking and sexual exploitation. Girls are specially affected as conservative attitudes may impede them attending or finishing school. Recent natural disasters have increased the vulnerability of thousands of children. In 2005 a devastating earthquake killed an estimated 73,000 people, leaving 3.3 million people de homeless.

In 1970, Pakistan's first parliamentary elections were held. The Awami League, based in East Pakistan, won a majority of seats in the National Assembly with the Pakistan People's Party coming in second with the majority of seats in West Pakistan. The martial law regime and the Pakistan People's Party were not willing to concede power to a government based in East Pakistan. General Yahya Khan declared a military crackdown in East Pakistan, and a bloody civil war ensued. The result was the division of Pakistan into Pakistan and Bangladesh.

Comment: The only way to solve Pakistani problems is to get te people of Pakistan to have a truely representaive govenment after a fair and free election. Such elections are simply not possible if the most popular leader is not allowed to return t his ow country despite Supreme Court's decision. Why anyone should be scared of a single person inNawaz Sharif. He should be fought in free and fair elections. It is a pity that Musharraf,Shoukat Aziz and other Ministers say that they respect and abide by all decisions by Supreme Court but when i comes to Nawaz Sharif, they all say that they will not allow him to return to Pakistan. What kind of respect are the showing for Supreme Court?
