Li Bijian meets with Senator Nisar Khuhro

Li Bijian Consul General of China in Karachi met with Senator Nisar Ahmed Khuhro, Chairman of Pakistan People’s Party (Sindh) and Ex-Speaker Sindh Assembly during the reported week. Consul Zheng Chao of the Consulate General also attended the meeting.
CG China introduced the assistance provided by the central and local governments of China, the Red Cross Society and other relevant institutions, the general public and Chinese-funded enterprises in Pakistan to assist Pakistan in fighting floods and disasters since the devastating flood.
Li said that China and Pakistan are the most reliable “hardcore” brothers. Since the floods, Chinese aid from all walks of life to Pakistan has reached 644 million yuan. The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China also donated flood relief materials to several political parties in Pakistan, which once again demonstrated the unbreakable “iron” friendship between China and Pakistan. The Chinese side believes that the Pakistani government and people will definitely be able to tide over the difficulties and rebuild their homeland at an early date.
Nisar Khuhro highly appreciated China’s selfless assistance to Pakistan at this difficult time. He said that the Chinese aid materials have been delivered to the disaster area and put into use, and the temporary camp built by the Pakistani side with Chinese aid tents has effectively improved the living conditions of the people in the disaster area. The disease caused by the breeding of mosquitoes and flies after the disaster is avoided to the greatest extent.
He thanked the Communist Party of China for its support and assistance to the Pakistan People’s Party during the flood, looked forward to further strengthening inter-party exchanges, and wished the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China a successful convening. I believe that under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, the Chinese people will surely achieve a great rejuvenated China’s Dreams.
