Any attempt to interfere with China-Pakistan relations cannot be achieved: Wang Yi

September 26, 2018: Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi has said that any attempt to provoke and interfere with China-Pakistan relations cannot be achieved.

He made these remarks during a meeting with his Pakistani counterpart Shah Mehmood Qureshi on sidelines of UN General Assembly on Wednesday, 25^th September.

Chinese FM believed both China and Pakistan should continue to maintain high-level strategic communication, make full efforts to promote the construction of China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, expand exchanges and cooperation in a wide range of fields such as trade and poverty alleviation to provide better benefits to the ordinary people of Pakistan.

He said China actively supports the efforts of the Pakistani side to improve and develop relations with neighboring countries.

Wang Yi said China-Pakistan relations have achieved a smooth transition after the Pakistani election and ushered in a good start, which proves once again that both the countries are all-weather strategic partners.

State Councilor Wang Yi’s successful visit to Pakistan post general elections once again showed that no matter how the situation changes, the relations between Pakistan and China will not change.

The new Pakistani government is willing to continue to strengthen all-round cooperation with China and learn from China's successful experiences in development, poverty alleviation and anti-corruption.

The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor project is extremely important to Pakistan and will have a positive and far-reaching impact on Pakistan's national development as well as employment and people's livelihood.

The new Pakistani government will continue to firmly advance this cooperation and take effective measures to ensure security along the corridor.

The two sides agreed to continue to strengthen communication and coordination on major international and regional issues.
