The Pakistani embassy in Beijing accorded warm welcome and full protocol to former president General (r) Pervez Musharraf. Pakistan’s Ambassador to China Masood Khan also hosted lunch in his honour. Reliable sources told Online that although Interior Minister Rehman Malik had announced to contact Interpol for Musharraf’s arrest in Benazir Bhutto’s murder case, but on the contrary he was given full official protocol during his visit to the Pakistani Embassy in Beijing. Several notable Pakistanis settled in China were also invited in the reception on the occasion. The sources said that during his speech, Musharraf harshly criticised President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani, as well as Nawaz Sharif, chief of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N). He also asked the people to support his All Pakistan Muslim League (APML), and assured them that after coming into power, he would pull the country out of crises. The former president, besides meetings with high-ranking Chinese officials, also delivered lectures on Pakistan -China relations and war against terrorism during his weeklong stay in China.
