Chinese Premier meets his Pakistani Counterpart in Islamabad

Chinese Premier Li Qiang said on Monday that China is willing to work with Pakistan to accelerate the building of a closer China-Pakistan community with a shared future in the new era.

In his meeting with Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif in Islamabad, capital of Pakistan, Li said that China and Pakistan are all-weather strategic cooperative partners, always understanding, trusting, and supporting each other.

Noting that Chinese President Xi Jinping met with Prime Minister Shehbaz in June and further planned the development of China-Pakistan relations, Li said that China has always placed such ties as a priority in its foreign policy and is willing to work with Pakistan to implement the important consensus reached by the leaders of the two countries.

Li pointed out that China firmly supports Pakistan in safeguarding national sovereignty and territorial integrity and taking a development path that suits its national conditions.
