He described China-Pakistan relations as a model of mutually beneficial cooperation, particularly within the framework of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).
His remarks followed the deadly attack on the Jaffar Express, which resulted in the deaths of 26 passengers, including 18 security personnel from the army and Frontier Corps (FC).
