At the invitation of Premier Wen Jiabao of the State
Council, Prime Minister Mir Zafarullah Khan Jamali of the
Islamic Republic of Pakistan will pay an official visit to
China from March 24th to 26th, 2003.
China and
Pakistan are friendly neighbors. Over the past 52 years
since the establishment of the diplomatic ties, the two
countries have formed and developed an all-around
partnership of cooperation on the basis of the Five
Principles of Peaceful Coexistence. Mutually-beneficial and
fruitful cooperation has been carried out in various fields.
Prime Minister Jamalis forthcoming visit is the first
by the leader of the new Pakistani Government. During the
visit, he will have an in-depth exchange of views with the
Chinese leaders on bilateral relations and international and
regional issues of common interest. It is our belief that
this visit will further expand the mutual agreement,
consolidate the traditional friendship and further promote
the development of Sino-Pakistani relations.
