THIMPU: Chinas Vice Foreign Minister, Wang Guangya, said China supports Pakistans efforts aimed at creating normal and peaceful relations with India.
He said it was incumbent upon the international community to stand by Pakistan and extend full support to the Pakistani government in its counterterrorism strategy.
During a meeting held on the sidelines of the 16th SAARC Summit at Thimphu, Pakistan and China agreed on the joint celebration of the 60th anniversary of Sino-Pak relations next year.
Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi said the exchange of high level visits between the two countries being planned this year would give further momentum to this upward bilateral trajectory.
Qureshi maintained that to enhance people-to-people contact, it was necessary that more opportunities were created for the youth of the two countries especially in the education sector.
He added that Pakistan could benefit from Chinas tremendous achievements in its education system and it would be useful if more students could get higher education in China either on scholarship or on self finance basis.
Qureshi briefed the Chinese Foreign Minister about developments in Pakistan-India relations underlining that it was imperative for the two countries to get back to the negotiating table and resolve all their bilateral disputes.
Chinese Vice Foreign Minister said his country would explore all possible avenues to encourage Pakistani students to come to China and benefit from their education facilities.
The Chinese envoy also assured that Pak-China relations would continue to strengthen regardless of any regional or global developments.
Wang Guangya assured that China would always be supporting Pakistan on important regional and international issues.
He said China was keenly looking forward to a working visit by President Asif Ali Zardari to China this year. DawnNews
