They recalled chairman Li’s visit to Pakistan in 2010, sang highly of the Sino-Pakistani friendship and exchanged views on some problems existing in the cultural and economic exchanges between the two countries.

As a result, the two parties would establish relevant organization to accelerate the exchanges and cooperation between the two peoples and countries as well.

After visiting the Peace Garden, the delegation members watched a TV documentary of Peace Garden.

Both parties agreed on the proposal. Ambassador Masood Khan expressed his hope that chairman Li would be able to see a fruitful result of the proposed items at this time next year if he could manage a tour to Pakistan.
