Describing Pakistan as a special friend, the Chinese military leadership said that the Chinese military would work closely with the Pakistan Armed Forces to deal with "complex problems" in the region and strengthen cooperation between the two forces. Pakistan Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa on Sunday held extensive talks with the Chinese military leadership delegation led by General Zhang Yuxia, Vice Chairman of China's powerful Central Military Commission (CMC), headed by President Xi Jinping.

 

According to a statement by the Pakistan Army, Pakistan's tri-services military delegation visited China from June 9 to 12, where it held extensive discussions with senior officials of the Chinese military and other government departments. The apex meeting was held on June 12 in which the Pakistani side was led by General Bajwa, while the Chinese side was led by General Zhang.

 

Pakistan and China on Sunday reaffirmed their "strategic partnership in these challenging times" and agreed to continue the regular exchange of views on issues of mutual interest. Xi Jinping's deputy Zhang in the CMC told Bajwa, "China is ready to strengthen communication, strengthen cooperation, deepen practical exchanges with Pakistan and properly deal with complex problems in the regional situation so that To advance military-to-military relations for further development." "China and Pakistan are all-weather strategic cooperative partners," Zhang was quoted as saying by Bajwa in an official Chinese statement.

 

Bajwa said that the Pakistan-China friendship is unbreakable and strong. "Pakistan will stand firmly with China at any time, no matter how the international and regional situation changes," Bajwa said. Bajwa said that Pakistan stands ready to crack down on terrorist forces, and strives to improve the capabilities of both sides in dealing with various security challenges and safeguarding the common interests of both the countries. Pakistan is heavily dependent on China for military equipment, including warships and fighter jets.

 

Experts say that recently Beijing provided its domestically manufactured J-10 fighter jets to Islamabad. China took such a step when India gained a strategic edge by buying the French Rafale jets. The Chinese statement said both sides strongly condemned the terrorist attack on the Confucius Institute's shuttle van at the University of Karachi in Pakistan in April and stressed that any attempt to undermine the Sino-Pakistan friendship is doomed to fail. Is.

 

On April 26, three Chinese teachers were killed when a burqa-clad female suicide bomber of the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) detonated a van of the Confucius Institute in Karachi's prestigious university. The separatist BLA said it opposes Chinese investment in Pakistan's resource-rich Balochistan province. The BLA has targeted Chinese civilians on several occasions, as has the Pakistani Taliban.

 

"The two sides discussed their perspectives on the international and regional security situation and expressed satisfaction over the defense cooperation between the two countries," it said. Reaffirmed their strategic partnership and agreed to continue the regular exchange of views on issues of mutual interest. Both sides are also committed to enhancing their training, technology, and counter-terrorism cooperation at the tri-services level.
