Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing on Tuesday met with his Pakistani
counterpart Khurshid Kasuri at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse in
Beijing.
Li said as close and friendly neighbors, China and Pakistan
enjoy all-weather friendship and all-round cooperation. He said he
hopes the two countries could make concerted efforts to implement
the consensus reached by the top leaders of both sides to further
boost the bilateral strategic partnership.
Kasuri said developing relations with China is a cornerstone of
Pakistan's foreign policy.
President Hu Jintao conducted a successful visit to Pakistan
last year and reached wide consensus with Pakistani President
General Pervez Musharraf, said Kasuri, adding that he hopes the two
countries could further promote bilateral relations.
Li and Kasuri also exchanged views on international and regional
issues of common concern.
Kasuri is paying an official visit to China from March 18 to 21
at the invitation of Li.
