Qureshi said that the bilateral relations had withstood regional and global changes and would continue to flourish in the days ahead and move from generation to generation.

Pakistan and China have complete trust, mutual understanding and convergence of views on bilateral, regional and international issues, Qureshi said.

He also congratulated the Chinese on the festive occasion.

The relationship has become multi-dimensional and it is unique and ever-growing, Qureshi said.
