Pak to Send Astronaut to Space in 2022

Following India's announcement of its human spaceflight program, Pakistan has now announced that it will send up astronaut(s) to space in 2022 with China's assistance:

Since Pak PM Imran Khan will be visiting China from November 3-5, perhaps this joint space mission was one of the deals that get arranged in advance of such visits, so that these things can be announced at the time of the visit itself.

A recent Spacedaily article talked about China's increasing international cooperation on space:

China announced in May that it would welcome all member states of the United Nations to cooperate in and jointly utilize its future space station, which is expected to be built around 2022. 

"The China Space Station (CSS) belongs not only to China, but also to the world," said Shi Zhongjun, China's Ambassador to UN and other international organizations in Vienna. 

"Through the vehicle of the CSS, we would like to build a model of sincere mutual beneficial cooperation among countries in the peaceful exploration and use of outer space." 

Guided by the idea of a shared future for mankind, the CSS will be a home that is inclusive and open, a home of peace and good will, and a home of cooperation for mutual benefit, he said.

I'm wondering if this 2022 China-facilitated spaceflight for Pak astronaut(s) could involve a a mission to visit China's upcoming space station, which is expected to be in operation by that time. Given that our maiden spaceflight won't involve a grand space station, perhaps China and Pak have found a way to upstage us.
