The construction of China-Pakistan Economic Corridor is moving toward high-quality development，and strengthening the trade of mineral products between China and Pakistan is also one of the important contents.Pakistan has good metallogenic conditions and relatively abundant resource reserves such as metal ores.Analyzing the competitive and complementary trade of mineral products between China and Pakistan in order to grasp the new direction of trade cooperation can provide new ideas to solve the problem of tightening mineral resource constraints in China.Based on the trade data in the UN COMTRADE database from 2005 to 2021，this paper measures the relative trade advantage index（RTA） and the bilateral comprehensive complementarity coef-ficient（OBC） to explore the competitiveness and complementarity of China-Pakistan mineral products trade based on the description of the development status and trade structure of bilateral mineral products trade between China and Pakistan，respectively.The results show that the development of China-Pakistan mineral trade is stable，but the trade structures of both sides differ greatly.The mineral products in which China and Pakistan each have trade advantages are different，and Pakistan has a larger number of mineral products with relative trade advantages，and the country mainly takes advantage of the metal mineral category，while China takes advantage of oil and gas products.In general，the competitiveness of China-Pakistan mineral trade is weak，and in the long run，China and Pakistan will form a complementary relationship，mainly focusing on metal ores，refined oil products and oil derivatives，etc.mineral products category.The study finds that China and Pakistan have great potential for cooperation in mineral trade，which can，to a certain extent，provide a new way to alleviate the contradiction between supply and demand of mineral products in China.In the future，China should firmly orient its policies and make full use of the complementary relationship to continue to maintain and develop its mineral products trade exchanges with Pakistan and seek breakthroughs in industrial cooperation and other aspects.
