Ambassador Haque said that Pakistan and China were all-weather friends and strategic cooperative partners and both the countries under the guidance of respective leadership would take the friendship to an even higher level in the future.
He thanked the Chinese government and people for extending unprecedented help during last year's devastating floods in Pakistan.
