ISLAMABAD—Chinese President Hu Jintao will pay a four-day official visit to Pakistan along with a high-level delegation in the last week of November, official sources said on Monday.
"The Chinese leader will be accompanied by some ministers and senior members of the politburo," a senior official said. President General Pervez Musharraf had extended an invitation to the Chinese president for this visit, he added.
The official, who requested not to be named, said the Chinese leader would also visit Lahore and Karachi. President Musharraf and Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz are likely to receive him at the Chaklala airbase.
According to the official, President Musharraf and his Chinese counterpart would first hold a one-on-one meeting and later the Chinese delegation and a Pakistani team would join the talks.
The official said that a Chinese delegation would arrive in Pakistan this month to finalise the schedule of President Hu's visit. He said that besides finalising the agenda of meetings between the two sides, the Chinese delegation would also give final touches to different agreements to be signed between the two countries.
During this visit, the official said, the two sides would discuss ways and means to enhance co-operation in the fields of nuclear power generation, science and technology, communications, defence, Gwadar port, expansion of the Karakoram Highway, laying of an optic fibre cable along this vital road link between the two countries and Chinese investment in Pakistan.
