ISLAMABAD: Chinese Ambassador Yao Jing on Monday met Army Chief Gen Qamar Bajwa for a discussion on regional security.
In a brief statement on the meeting, the Inter-Services Public Relations, the media affairs wing of the armed forces, said: “Mr Yao Jing, Ambassador of China to Pakistan, called on General Qamar Javed Bajwa, Chief of Army Staff [COAS], at the GHQ today”.
“During the meeting matters of mutual interest, including regional security situation, were discussed,” it further said.
The meeting took place ahead of Chinese Vice President Wang Qishan’s visit to Pakistan over the next few days. The Chinese vice president is one of the leading figures in China’s foreign affairs.
Pakistan and China closely coordinate their positions on regional matters. They have been cooperating for peace in Afghanistan, a process that has made little progress so far, and the developing situation in the Middle East is also of concern to both countries.
