Respect Pakistan's sovereignty : China to US

Islamabad, 19 May:  China has told the US to respect Pakistan's sovereignty and understand its problems, it was reported here.

The daily Dawn reported that during a meeting with Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani on Wednesday in Beijing, Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao said he had taken up the issue with US officials at a recent strategic and economic dialogue in Washington.

Gilani began a four-day official visit to China on Tuesday. The trip comes amid strained ties between the US and Pakistan after Osama bin Laden was shot dead on May 2 by US Navy SEALs in Pakistan's Abbottabad city. The US said it had taken unilateral action to take out the al Qaeda leader.

He said China and Pakistan would forever remain good neighbours and good partners.
