Pakistani President vows to help China counter terrorism

Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari has reiterated that Pakistan will extend full support to China in the fight against terrorism.

He made the remarks when he held talks with Chinese State Councilor Meng Jianzhu on Monday in Islamabad.

Zardari vowed to promote bilateral relations to a new level, saying that Pakistani-Sino friendship has gone beyond general international relations and the two countries have supported each other on major international and regional issues.

Meng said China and Pakistan are good neighbors, good friends, good partners and good brothers. Relations between China and Pakistan have withstood the tests of changing international situations, he said.

China has always regarded China-Pakistan relations as one of its diplomatic priorities, no matter how international situations have changed, he added.

This year has been named China-Pakistan Friendship Year to mark the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two nations.

Meng said that China is willing to work with Pakistan to push the China-Pakistan strategic cooperative partnership to a new level.
