Spokesperson Lu Kang while addressing a regular press conference said, “President Xi Jinping, Premier Li Keqiang and other Chinese leaders will meet and hold talks with him. The two sides will have an in-depth exchange of views on bilateral relations and issues of mutual interest. Like I just said, besides Beijing, Prime Minister Imran Khan will also attend the first China International Import Expo in Shanghai”.
“I would like to stress again that China and Pakistan are all-weather strategic partners for cooperation. Our friendship goes back so long and our political mutual trust enjoys such a solid foundation that China-Pakistan relations are immune to the changing international and domestic landscapes,” Kang added.
Recent years have seen frequent high-level exchanges, rapid growth of practical cooperation in various fields, especially the building of the CPEC which has yielded fruitful outcomes, and the ever-strengthening of bilateral friendly ties, the foreign ministry’s spokesperson said.
“This July, Pakistan held a successful election and realized a steady transition of its government. The new Pakistani government has reiterated for many times that it is committed to developing its friendship with China and looks forward to deepening bilateral cooperation,” read the statement.
China hopes that through Prime Minister Imran Khan’s visit, the two sides could comprehensively align development strategies, continuously deepen all-around cooperation, and elevate bilateral relations to a new height.
