Chinese MPs to adopt Sino-Pak friendship treaty
BEIJING: China’s top legislature, the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress (NPC), will consider and approve a treaty of friendship with Pakistan during its six-day session which began on Tuesday.
Official sources said that the NPC would consider a heavy agenda, including the Sino-Pak friendship treaty that was signed by Premier Wen Jiabao and Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz in Islamabad in April this year.
The Chinese State Council (cabinet) will formally present the treaty before the NPC for consideration and approval. “We consider the treaty an important document further consolidating strategic partnership between the two traditional allies,” sources said, adding that under the treaty, both countries are committed to supporting each other’s efforts to safeguard their territorial integrity.
It encapsulated the successful experience of bilateral relations in more than half a century, and charted the course for future development.
The treaty said that mutually beneficial cooperation was not only in the fundamental interest of the two countries and the two peoples, but also conducive to regional and global peace, stability and development. app
