President Asif Ali Zardari is paying a week-long visit to China from Saturday, on the invitation of the government of China, the Foreign Office (FO) said on Saturday.
The president will travel to Changsha, Hunan Province, from 25 to 27 April, and to Sanya, Hainan Province, from April 28 to May 1.
He will hold meetings with the provincial leadership to discuss Pakistan–China bilateral relations, with a particular focus on economic and trade cooperation and China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).
“The visit is part of the longstanding tradition of high-level exchanges between Pakistan and China and holds special significance in the context of the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries, being commemorated this year,” the FO stated.
It reflects the deep commitment of both countries to further strengthening the All-weather Strategic Cooperative Partnership.
