The Foreign Office (FO) on Thursday said that Chinese President Xi Jinping will soon be visiting Pakistan, adding that his earlier visit had been cancelled due to unavoidable circumstances.
Speaking to media representatives, FO spokeswoman Tasneem Aslam said Jinping’s visit to India will not have any bearing on Pak-China relations.
According to the spokeswoman, Jinping had met Adviser to Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Foreign Affairs and National Security Sartaj Aziz at a meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit in Dushanbe on Monday.
Earlier, following consultations between the governments of China and Pakistan, the visit of Chinese president to the country had been cancelled in light of protests in Islamabad led by Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) and Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT).
