Pakistan China Relation

If India and Pakistan have tepid bilateral relations today, it is because the Pakistan army appears reluctant to allow civilian governments to build a warm relationship with India.

China's President Xi Jinping strongly condemned an attack at a mosque in neighbouring Pakistan, state media reported Wednesday, after rescue work ended with the death count at 101.

China on Thursday agreed to refinance Pakistan with USD 2.3 billion worth of funds amid the dwindling foreign exchange reserves of the country.

Pakistan and China are "two brothers" who have nurtured the evergreen tree of mutual friendship over the years, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said today as he congratulated Chinese President Xi Jinping.

Newly elected Prime Minister of Pakistan, Shehbaz Sharif, on Tuesday said that his country is ready to deepen bilateral cooperation and elevate relations with China to a higher level, which he said, is the voice of 200 million of his countrymen.

China on Wednesday termed the shooting incident in Pakistan's Karachi city, in which a Chinese national was injured, as an "isolated case", days after the all-weather allies termed the bus explosion killing nine Chinese.

China said on Thursday it will send a team to Pakistan to help investigate a blast on a bus that killed 13 people, including nine Chinese workers, after it backed away from an earlier assertion that the explosion was a bomb attack.

China said on Monday that it was "happy" over the recent "active interactions" between Pakistan and India, indicating that it would like to work with Islamabad to inject "more positive energy" into regional peace, stability and development.
