Senate chairman says US is making New Delhi a new policeman of this region
Mushahid Hussain Sayed says Pakistan-China ties despite ups and downs remained cool

ISLAMABAD: Senate Chairman Mian Raza Rabbani has said that Indo-Israel-Us nexus would jeopardise regional peace and development.
He expressed these views while addressing a ceremony held in connection with initiation of Chinese language classes and launching of report on ‘CPEC: Facts vs Fiction’, a joint initiative of Pakistan-China Institute and JS Group.
He said that the recent development made it abundantly clear that US was making New Delhi a new policeman of this region as the west finally realised that people of Asia would shape the destiny of Asia and would take a lead in making the Asian dream come true by controlling its own resources.
He said that Pakistan and China have a history of friendship which was built by Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and Mao Tes Tung and both have stood side-by-side. He said that this historic friendship has remained beneficial for both in economic and strategic fields and initiatives like CPEC and One Belt One Road projects have added further impetus to bilateral relations between the two sides.
Rabbani said that Asia was rising and the Asian people needed to be the masters of their own destiny by controlling their own resources and harness the tremendous economic potential of a combined Asia. “The era of looking towards west is coming to an end and western imperialism has begun to realise that it can no longer exploit the cheap labour and other resources of Asia”, he remarked. He said that the west would resist the development process through destabilisation and regime change in Asia and Middle East. The latest US assessment showed China and Russia as great potential threats.
Speaking on the occasion, Mushahid Hussain Sayed said that Pakistan enjoyed historic, unique, unprecedented and strategic relationship with China which despite ups and downs remained resilient due to communality of views over issues and mutuality of interests. He termed the One Belt One Road Initiative as an important developmental project of 21st century spreading over seventy countries of Asia, Africa and Europe. He said that CPEC was moving at very fast pace. “New elements have been made part of CPEC which include agriculture, poverty alleviation, cultural and people to people linkages”, Mushahid said. He said that currently thousands of students were studying in China and there was a need to further explore new vistas of bilateral cooperation.
