BEIJING: One of China’s most senior military officers will visit Pakistan and India next month, China’s defence ministry said on Thursday, making trips to neighbouring rivals which have very different relations with Beijing.

China and Pakistan describe each other as “all weather friends” and have tight links, and while Chinese and Indian relations have improved considerably since a brief border war in 1962, the two remain locked in a messy territorial dispute and deep suspicions persist.

Fan Changlong, one of the vice chairmen of the Central Military Commission which controls the Chinese armed forces and is headed by President Xi Jinping, will visit in the middle of November, ministry spokesperson Yang Yujun told a regular news briefing.

The trip is to boost friendly exchanges and help “jointly maintain regional peace and security”, Yang said, without elaborating.
