Pakistan and China enjoy strategic relations, sharing common positions on various issues, Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz said while talking to Chinese Vice Foreign Minister, Wu Dawei, who met him in Islamabad. He said Pakistan will continue to lend its unequivocal support to China on the issue of Taiwan and Tibet, and noted that China has always stood by Pakistan. Aziz said China is a global power and Pakistan will work closely with it to develop consensus among the developing countries on UN Reforms. The reform process, he said, covers not only the Security Council but the entire UN. The prime minister said Pakistan feels that the reforms should be based on just, equitable and democratic terms. Aziz said China's economic achievements are truly impressive and termed it "a matter of great pride for Pakistan." He said Pakistan's relations with China are growing with the passage of time and have been further strengthened by the recent visit of Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao to Pakistan. The prime minister said the spontaneous welcome accorded by the people of Pakistan to the Chinese Premier on his recent visit reflected their love and affection they had for China. --MORE 1329 Local Time 1029 GMT
