Wang Yi talks on the phone with Pakistani Foreign Minister Qureshi
On January 21, 2021, State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi had a telephone conversation with Pakistani Foreign Minister Qureshi at an appointment.
Wang Yi said that China-Pakistan friendship has been tested and solid as a rock, and has become the most valuable strategic asset of both sides.
The current century of changes in the world and the epidemic of the century are intertwined, but no matter how the world situation changes, China-Pakistan friendly cooperation will move forward firmly.
This year marks the 70th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Pakistan. Both parties should make overall plans to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations and promote the all-weather strategic partnership of China and Pakistan to a new level.
The construction of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor is an important starting point for building a closer China-Pakistan community with a shared future, and it has entered a new stage of high-quality development.
China supports the early holding of the tenth meeting of the Corridor Joint Committee to inject new impetus into the practical cooperation between China and Pakistan.
Wang Yi said that fighting the epidemic is the top priority of the international community.
President Xi Jinping has stated many times that after China's vaccine research and development is completed and put into use, it will become a global public product.
China not only made its commitments, but also took concrete actions to fulfill its commitments and vigorously promoted vaccine cooperation with other countries, especially to provide help and support to developing countries.
Pakistan is China's all-weather strategic cooperative partner. Both sides have a fine tradition of mutual support and mutual help. When one party is in trouble, the other will always lend a helping hand.
The Chinese government has decided to provide vaccine assistance to Pakistan and has actively coordinated Chinese companies to accelerate the export of vaccines to Pakistan.
Our conversation today and China-Pakistan vaccine cooperation will kick off the celebration of the 70th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Pakistan.
Qureshi, on behalf of the Pakistani government and people, thanked the Chinese government for its decision to provide vaccine assistance to Pakistan and facilitate procurement.
Ku said that Pakistan has approved the emergency use authorization of China National Pharmaceutical Group vaccine, and will actively consider approving other Chinese vaccine market access.
The two sides should strengthen communication to ensure the success and smoothness of the celebration of the 70th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations, and hold the 10th meeting of the corridor joint committee as soon as possible to promote greater progress in Pakistan-China relations.
