Six JF-17 Thunder fighters of the Pakistan Air Force will escort the aircraft of Chinese Premier Li Keqiang as it enters Pakistani air space on Wednesday, at the startof his two-day State visit.
The JF-17s — a symbol of deep Sino-Pakistan friendship – will guide the special Air China Boeing 747 aircraft of the Chinese dignitary to the Nur Khan Air Base, where a 21-gun salute will herald his arrival.
The JF-17s will fly past over the air base.
In a rare gesture of cordiality and warm feelings for China, President Asif Ali Zardari and the caretaker Prime Minister Justice(R) Mir Hazar Khan Khoso will receive the chief guest on his first visit to Pakistan, since assuming office in March.
President Zardari will host a luncheon for the distinguished guest in which all the major leadership of political parties have also been invited.
The Prime Minister will also host a banquet for his Chinese counterpart.
On the second day of his visit, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Chief Nawaz Sharif will meet Li Keqiang.
The two countries will also sign a number of memoranda of understanding for close cooperation in various fields.
The Chinese Premier will also address the Senate of Pakistan on May 23.
He will also hold a joint meeting with the Senate Chairman and the Speaker of the National Assembly.
Later, he will visit the Pak-China Friendship Centre and witness a cultural show.
Prime Minister Khoso will bid farewell to the Chinese Premier on Thursday and the six JF-17s will escort the dignitary’s aircraft till the aerial limits of Pakistan.
The Government and people of Pakistan look forward to the visit of Premier Li Keqiang and a warm welcome awaits him, a Foreign Office statement said.

Oh damn, tell this to me before and I would have been in Islamabad!!!

My relatives house is right next to approach, with a great view!

DAng, a missed opportunity!

Lets hope TV channels cover it...
 
I think it is purely a matter of respect. Pakistan owes China a great deal of that cause it it the only close friend. As far as I know 2 are pretty normal. Sometimes people get 3 + 1 tail... But 6 is indeed massive ;)

I am very curious how Chine will be involved in Pakistan in the next government. What happens with Gwadar... How will non defence related tech be used to improve electricity, infrastructure etc.

What I know from defence perspective. It is all fine. Just wait and see.
 
Also, he will be ferried around in Al-Khalid tank...when he is there :chilli:
