 President Gen Pervez Musharraf said he wants to "inject more vigour" into a strategic partnership with China after meeting on Wednesday with the country's defence chief in Beijing, the official Xinhua News Agency reported. "Pakistan will continue to contribute to developing friendly cooperation with China's defence department, military and other departments," Xinhua quoted Musharraf as saying. "We want to continuously inject more vigour into the two nations' close strategic cooperative partnership," Musharraf said.

The news agency quoted Chinese Defence Minister Cao Gangchuan as saying he hoped Musharraf's five-day visit - which marks 55 years of diplomatic ties between the two neighbours - will help "deepen all-around cooperation with Pakistan, and maintain regional and world peace and stability". |
