Pakistan to buy anti-terror equipment from China: minister
Sat Apr 26, 2:11 AM ET
ISLAMABAD (AFP) - Pakistan will purchase equipment from China to fight terrorist activity, Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi said.
China is one of the closest allies and largest arms supplier of Pakistan, which has been hit by a wave of suicide bombings in which more than 1,000 people have died in the past year.
"Pakistan has expressed the desire to purchase some anti-terror equipment from China," Qureshi told a joint press conference with the visiting Chinese foreign minister Yang Jiechi after their talks in Islamabad.
"China has indicated that it will be more than happy to supply this equipment to us, which will strengthen our arms in dealing with terrorist activities."
He did not disclose when and what type of equipment Pakistan would purchase from China.
"We expressed our great desire during the talks to build the bilateral relations to new heights," Qureshi said.
Jiechi said his visit to Pakistan "was another step towards forging even better relationship between the two countries in the fields of defence, economy, investment, energy and security."
"Beijing will further cooperate with Pakistan in dealing firmly with terrorists," he said.
He said that "cooperation between the two countries in peaceful uses of nuclear energy is a great success, as we have undertaken some good projects in Pakistan."
"We think that Pakistan has a right to peaceful uses of nuclear energy," Jiechi added.
Asked if China will participate in a multi-billion-dollar gas pipeline project with Iran and Pakistan, he said, "we are seriously studying China's participation in the project."
"But we need to have more information from Pakistan side about the project," he said.
