On the afternoon of June 14, President Xi Jinping held talks at the Great Hall of the People with Palestinian President Abbas who was on a state visit to China.
In March of this year, you wrote to congratulate me on my re-election as the President of China, and I am grateful for this. You are the first Arab head of state received by the Chinese side this year, which fully reflects the high level of China Pakistan relations.
China is one of the earliest countries to recognize the Palestine Liberation Organization and the State of Palestine, and has always firmly supported the just cause of restoring the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people. In the face of the century long changes in the world and the new changes in the situation in the Middle East, China is willing to strengthen coordination and cooperation with the Palestinian side to promote a comprehensive, just, and lasting solution to the Palestinian issue as soon as possible. Today, we jointly announce the establishment of a strategic partnership between China and Pakistan, which will become an important milestone in the history of bilateral relations. China is willing to take this opportunity to comprehensively promote friendly cooperation in various fields with Pakistan.
