Army chief Gen Ashfaq Parvez Kayani has said strategic cooperation between Pakistan and China is not directed against any country and this cooperation is very critical for peace and stability in the region.
“Any country should not feel any threat from strategic cooperation between Pakistan and China. This cooperation is very crucial for the region. It will lead to peace and stability in the region,” he said this while addressing, jointly with Chinese Deputy Chief of General Staff Hou Shusen, the concluding ceremony of Pak-China war games here on Thursday.
Kayani said military exercises would foster harmony between the two countries and would help end terrorism. These war games would further boost the bilateral ties between the both countries, he hoped, adding that the exchange of views would also take place on professional training.
Commenting of the Pak-China relations, he said that China is Pakistan most trusted and all weather friend and both are tied in the lasting bonds of friendship, and Pak-China relations don’t exit only at government level but they also exist at people to people level.
He went on to say the joint war games were aimed at providing opportunities to benefit from each other expertise. This expertise would help fortify the defence of the two countries, he hoped.
The Army chief was of the view all the other countries, including Pakistan and China, were facing threat from terrorism. The joint exercises would help uproot terrorism, he underlined.
He stated that Pakistan has forged a cooperation with China against extremists therein. Chinese security was very vital for Pakistan, and cooperation is being extended to China for elimination of Turkmen Islamic Movement, he added.
Chinese Deputy Chief of General Staff said terrorism was a common enemy of both China and Pakistan, and joint war games would be beneficial for the two countries in combating it. Bilateral relations between Pakistan and China are gaining strength with the passage of time, he added.
This guy, Kayani, sounds too self absorbed. Really ! who cares if pakistan and china wants to play soldier games. Kayani says "This cooperation is very crucial for the region. It will lead to peace and stability in the region" ; I say " just stop exporting terrorism to all countries in the neighborhood" peace and stability will be achieved in an instant"
