During talks with Pakistan, China on Wednesday signalled its intention to playing a significant role for lasting peace in Afghanistan.
The ongoing talks in Beijing were focusing on several aspects, including economic and defence, of the ties between the two countries.
Pakistan’s delegation was being headed by Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar and the Chinese side was being led by Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi.
Ms Khar said Pakistan wanted to strengthen its ties with China through trade and investment.
Speaking to media representatives earlier, Ms Khar said China was one of the countries with which Pakistan had signed a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) and both sides could get benefits from the FTA.
She pointed out that the existing bond of friendship between Pakistan and China was multi-faceted and covered all areas including defence, economic and trade ties.
“We have strategic and robust relations with China,” she said, adding that one cannot bracket these ties with other countries.
