The Chinese Ambassador to Pakistan, Yao Jing, has assured that China was willing to work together with Pakistan to support the exchange of news media between the two countries.

Ambassador Yao Jing expressed these views during his meeting with the newly appointed Pakistan’s Minister for Information, Shibli Faraz, at the Chinese Embassy in Islamabad on May 6. 

The Ambassador congratulated the minister on his new role and thanked him for his long-term support for the development of China-Pakistan relations and for China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). 

Yao reaffirmed that China and Pakistan have been true friends in crisis and good brothers who shared the same difficulties. 

When China fully responded to the domestic epidemic situation, Pakistan extended firm support. In the same way Pakistan was currently facing an epidemic challenge and China was also firmly standing with Pakistan by sharing prevention and control experience, providing anti-epidemic materials and working together to jointly handle the situation. 

The Ambassador pointed out that China was willing to expand cooperation in the cultural field and play a greater role in consolidating China-Pakistan friendship and promoting the high-quality development of the CPEC.  

Reciprocating, Minister Shibli Faraz positively evaluated China's anti-epidemic achievements and thanked the Chinese government and people for their vigorous assistance and support for the anti-epidemic disease in Pakistan. 

He maintained that China and Pakistan were the best of friends and brothers and the friendship between the two countries was time-tested.
