On the afternoon of June 20th, Zhang Youxia, Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission, met with the Chairman of the Pakistan Joint Chiefs of Staff, Sahir, in Beijing.
Zhang Youxia said that China and Pakistan are all-weather strategic partners, and the "iron rod" friendship between the two countries has withstood the test of international changes and is as strong as a rock and unbreakable. China is willing to work together with Pakistan to implement the important consensus reached by the leaders of the two countries, further strengthen high-level exchanges and strategic communication, enrich and expand practical cooperation, and work together to address various global challenges. The relationship between the two militaries is an important pillar of the relationship between the two countries. We hope that the two militaries will continue to support each other strategically, promote deeper and more practical cooperation in defense and security, and jointly maintain international and regional peace and stability.
Sahir said that the friendship between Pakistan and China is higher than mountains, deeper than the sea, harder than steel, and sweeter than honey. Thank you for China's long-term strong support for Pakistan's development and security. No matter how the international and regional situation changes, Pakistan firmly supports China's principled position on Taiwan, Xizang, Xinjiang, Hong Kong and other issues. The Pakistani military is willing to deepen cooperation with the Chinese military in various fields such as high-level visits, joint exercises and training, counter-terrorism and stability maintenance, defend common interests, and promote common development.
