Close ties between militaries of China and Pakistan will not only help maintain an all weather partnership between the two countries but also the regional peace and global stability, the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) said today.
“China and Pakistan share all weather partnership. We have maintained very high level of defence exchange and cooperation,” Chinese military spokesman, Col Ren Guoqiang told a media briefing here.
“At the same time, I am very confident that military cooperation will help facilitate our state to state relationship and also in maintaining regional peace and international stability”, he said.
Guoqiang’s comments came in the backdrop of China selling a powerful tracking system in an “unprecedented deal” which could speed up the development of multi-warhead missiles by Pakistan.
Chinese authorities declassified information about the sale of the tracking system yesterday.
Pakistan is seeking to make China its main supplier of military hardware, partly due to the looser financial terms offered by Beijing, replacing traditional suppliers from the west. PTI
