Nong Rong was present throughout the President’s remarks.
He stated that Jiang Zemin was a great and trusted friend of Pakistan who made invaluable contributions to the strengthening of the bilateral all-weather strategic cooperative friendship between the two countries and strengthened people-to-people relations. He made these statements during an interview.
According to Dr. Arif Alvi, the friendship between Pakistan and China has stood the test of time because of their remarkable trust, understanding, strategic communication, and extensive practical cooperation.
He thanked the Chinese government and people on behalf of the Pakistani government and people for the generous support they provided during the COVID-19 pandemic and the disastrous floods that hit the country.
