ISLAMABAD: Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi on Tuesday called upon the international community to realise sacrifices rendered by Pakistan in the war on terror and the role it played against terrorists and for peace in the region.

The Chinese foreign minister said that Pakistan was playing a positive role for peace and stability in the region, adding that it also played an important role in fighting terrorists. “The world should realise its role and the sacrifices it made in the war on terror.”

In the backdrop of current international scenario, he said, China would support Pakistan’s in safeguarding its sovereignty, territorial integrity, honour and economic interest.

He also praised Pakistan’s policy of having friendly relations with all the neighbouring countries and beyond, saying China wishes Pakistan to have strong ties with the regional countries and others in the world. “We also wish for its economic prosperity.”

The Chinese minister met President Asif Ali Zardari, Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani and army chief General Ashfaq Pervaiz Kayani before his meeting with Foreign Minister Khar.

Zardari, during his meeting with Jiechi, emphasised upon the need for fast-track implementation of Pak-China agreed projects in areas of energy, mining, infrastructure, IT, communication, agriculture and others for the mutual benefit of the two countries.

He also proposed establishment of trans-border economic zones for shared development and prosperity of Gilgit-Baltistan and western regions of China.

Briefing about Zardari-Jiechi meeting, spokesperson to the president Farhatullah Babar said that the president thanked the Chinese government and its leadership for their unswerving and continued support to Pakistan’s sovereignty, territorial integrity and multifaceted assistance at hours of need.

The president said that Pakistanis valued their brotherly relations with the Chinese people and were eager to learn from the Chinese experience of growth and development.

The president, while recalling his previous visits to China, said that each of his visit offered him a unique experience of learning.

He said that Pakistan was keen to translate its traditional equation with China into economic terms and that Islamabad attached great importance to enhancing economic and trade linkages with Beijing.

He said that the enhanced economic engagement of the two countries was an encouraging development and the two countries needed to fast-track implementation of mutually agreed projects for the mutual benefit of people. staff report/app

"In the backdrop of current international scenario, he said, China would support Pakistan’s in safeguarding its sovereignty, territorial integrity, honour and economic interest."

In diplo-speak that's a VERY long way away from unconditional support of Pakistani sovereignty. China is saying, however, that it doesn't want Pakistan to be further humiliated, at least not right now, BUT it's going to cost you "economic interest" - some sort of trade concessions, most likely. The Chinese recently scored a success by forcing Iran to open its markets up to Chinese manufactures and tradesmen or immigrants, thus diminishing Iran's protected manufacturers and traders; perhaps the Chinese are thinking of doing the same to Pakistan.

I believe the Chinese are already at it in Pakistan. Especially considering, homegrown industries of Pakistan are being stifled by Chinese dumping.

No. In fact, India has a much bigger trade deficit to China, than any other country in South Asia.

The Drone attacks occur with the acquiescence of the current disgraceful Pakistani Government. You cannot blame China for allowing these attacks when the Pakistani govt. looks the other way. This is why we need Imran Khan to take over early next year. I gaurantee you, this foolishness regarding Drones will stop immediatly after few of them are shot down by PAF.
