“The Chinese ambassador appreciated the efforts by the Pakistani Government to promote religious harmony, on which both the two sides had full consensus,” said the official.
Some local and international media, however, gave baseless and distorted reports about the meeting and China totally rejects them, he said, adding that Chinese Muslims enjoys social stability, sound economic development and harmonious coexistence among ethnic groups.
However, some measures are taken against separatism and terrorism for the sake of safeguarding China’s national security and protecting people’s life and property,” he concluded.
