Guangzhou, Nov 13 (ANI): The Chinese Prime Minister, Wen Jiabao, will visit Pakistan next month to "deepen strategic cooperation" and establish a mechanism for formal and structured dialogue to ensure smooth and real time communication on all issues of common interest.
"We are looking forward to establishing contacts between leaderships of the two countries," the Dawn quoted Jiabao, as saying, during a meeting with Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari in Guangzhou on Friday.
"Every visit of the president (Zardari) has further deepened Pakistan-China cooperation," noted the Chinese prime minister.
