-Wishes a quick recovery to President Alvi from COVID
-Reaffirms firm support to Pakistan in fight against Coronavirus
BEIJING: Chinese President Xi Jinping sent a message of sympathy to Pakistani President Arif Alvi over his infection with COVID-19 and wished him a quick recovery, CGTN reported on Friday.
It’s worth mentioning here that President Alvi had tested positive of COVID-19 on March 29.
Stressing the all-weather strategic cooperative partnership between the two sides, Xi said that the Chinese government and people will always stand firmly with Pakistan to fight the epidemic.
“I attach great importance to the development of China-Pakistan relations and am ready to work with President Alvi to build a closer China-Pakistan community with a shared future for the benefit of our two countries and two peoples,” he said.
Last year on March 17, 2020, during President Alvi’s official visit to China, Mr. Xi Jinping said special friendship between Pakistan and China was choice of the history as it had deep roots in the hearts of people of the two countries.
“We want to see a united and strong Pakistan with stability and prosperity,” he said during a meeting with President Dr Arif Alvi here at the Great Hall of People.
President Xi said no matter how international landscape might change, China would always stand firmly by Pakistan. “China will stay committed to our ironclad friendship and will expand our strategic cooperation.”
President Xi said China backed Pakistan in stepping up its constructive role in regional and international affairs.
