Pakistani FM calls for 'more robust' anti-terror relations

BEIJING - China and Pakistan will seek "more robust" ties on counter-terrorism through existing cooperation and mechanisms, the visiting Pakistani foreign minister said on Wednesday.

Hina Rabbani Khar, the youngest and first female foreign minister of Pakistan, said during her first official visit to China that both countries share common interests in building a better relationship to combat terrorism. "Terrorism is against the national interests of the two countries and also against the common goals of economic development and integration," she said.

Upon her arrival in Beijing on Tuesday, Khar said China and Pakistan enjoy a unique relationship.
