Chinese diplomat expresses confidence that Chinese president will visit Pakistan ‘soon’, says no to interference in Pakistan’s internal political affairs

The Chinese Embassy Sunday formally announced the postponement of visit of Chinese President Xi Jingping to Pakistan while a senior Chinese diplomat has clarified that the postponement would have no effect on bilateral ties.

The clarification was made in wake of propaganda launched by the government suggesting that the visit was postponed due to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) sit-ins in the federal capital and that the postponement had jeopardised investment to the tone of 35 billion dollars that the president was likely to announce during the visit.

The government has claimed that diplomatic channels and officials of the two countries have done a lot of preparatory work for the positive and concrete outcome of the visit, adding that all would go in vain because of the political turmoil created by the anti-government sit-ins.

LET’S FOIL ATTEMPTS OF SABOTEURS OF PAK-CHINA FRIENDSHIP:

However, at a media briefing in Islamabad, the Chinese diplomat said, “All the projects agreed between the two countries will be pushed forward and implemented in letter and spirit.”

He said that the postponement of the visit will not negatively impact the deep-rooted and time-tested Sino-Pak relations.

“How can the postponement of a single visit affect decades of historic strategic partnership?” he asked, adding that the number of top-level visits between the two countries in recent years was unprecedented.

He said that officials were actively engaged in finding a way to work on projects which are to be signed during President Jingping scheduled visit to Pakistan.

“Let’s work together to foil the attempts aimed to harm our relationship.”

Reiterating the basis of Pak-China relations, he said, “It is not the question of short-term interest or one country’s benefit. We are working for mutually beneficial cooperative partnership.”

“We want to help Pakistan; its economic interests are important to us. We will keep maintaining the relationship’s momentum through all possible means.”

The diplomat said that both countries are working to take up economic projects, such as the construction of Lahore-Karachi Motorway and two power plants at Port Qasim.

“Pakistan is our largest investment destination in South Asia and will remain so in the years to come. A stable and prosperous Pakistan is in the interest of China,” he added.

CHINESE PRESIDENT WILL DEFINITELY VISIT PAKISTAN:

Expressing confidence that the Chinese president will visit Pakistan as soon as the political situation in Pakistan returns to normal, the Chinese diplomat said, “We are sure the Pakistani people have the capacity to resolve their political issues amicably.” He added that politics is any internal matter of Pakistan and no foreign country is entitled to interfere in it.
