The Chinese delegation Monday called on the Federal Defence Minister Chaudhry Ahmed Mukhtar and discussed with him the bilateral issues, Geo News reported Monday.

It was decided in the meeting that all the armed forces in both Pakistan and China will jointly launch military exercises.

It should be mentioned that a 16-member Chinese defence delegation, headed by Chinese State Councillor and Minister for National Defence General Liang Guangile is currently in Pakistan on a two-day visit.

Both the countries will discuss boosting up defence cooperation in order to maintain the existing momentum.

According to a press release, the Chinese defence minister will hold meetings also with senior local military leadership, which would further strengthen the relationship between the two countries.

According to diplomatic officials, the terms on which the Chinese provided weapons and equipment to Pakistan was not aimed at perpetuating Pakistan’s dependence on Beijing, but on encouraging self-reliance. This included supply of spare parts, setting up local overhauling facilities, license production and other joint ventures.

During talks between a Pakistani team led by Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee Chairman General Tariq Majid and the People’s Liberation Army Deputy Chief General Ma Xiaotian, earlier this year, the two sides focused on ways of addressing “the tenuous spectre of strategic stability in the region.

The last round of the Pakistan-China defence and security talks also decided to address the “intra-regional disputes and posturing of involved states.”

These security talks were aimed at “sharing perspectives on the fast-evolving regional security situation for developing common insight into emerging scenarios and coordinating common responses”.

China needs Pakistan to calm its Ughair provience. One key subject which is definate to rise is increasing indian millitary arsenal. Most of the "really" strategic mattter discuess will remain secret from press. Also Pakistan is trying to attract chinese economic might in Afghanistan to counter that of India.
