Zardari's China connection sees him receiving 'unprecedented' protocol | Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari seems to share a special relationship with China, as he receives an extra ordinary welcome in Beijing that no other leader
of any state enjoys during his visit to the communist country. During his recent China visit, Zardari received an unprecedented protocol and Beijing also acknowledged
that no head of state is ever given such a protocol if he is on a working visit
to cities other than Beijing. "This is rare. When dignitaries from other countries
are there in Chinese provinces, they are received by an official of the Chinese
foreign ministry. No one outside Beijing gets protocol which President Zardari
receives during his working visits," Chinese ambassador to Islamabad Lou Zhaohui
said. Interacting with media person at the Chinese embassy here, Zhaohui said
Zardari, during his first official visit to China last October, had committed
to come there every three months and visit a new province each time. He praised
Zardari for keeping his promise for visiting China thrice in the recent past to
take note of the Chinese model of development, which he (Zardari) wants to implement
in Pakistan. Zhaohui also informed that Chinese President Hu Jintao would meet
his Pakistani counterpart in New York later this month on the margins of the United
Nations General Assembly. He said the meeting will focus on strengthening bilateral
ties of the two nations. "The focus would be on a wide range of regional and international
issues, but of course the emphasis would be on bilateral relations. The interaction
will further deepen friendship with China," Zhaohui said. "It is important for
the leaderships to establish personal friendship," he added. |
