Pakistan's President Asif Ali Zardari called China an \"all-weather strategic partner\" during his recent state visit, comparing the countries' bond to \"precious gems that shine brighter with time.\" In an exclusive interview with CMG's Zou Yun, Zardari emphasized Pakistan's commitment to learning from China's development model while strengthening collaboration in tech, green energy, and infrastructure.
\"Our friendship isn't just government-to-government – it's between 2.4 billion people,\" Zardari said, referencing Chinese President Xi Jinping's description of the relationship as \"an invaluable treasure.\" The leaders discussed expanding the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), with Zardari pledging to \"turn our shared vision into reality\" through joint innovation hubs and climate resilience projects.
