Islamabad, Dec. 6 : Chinese ambassador to Pakistan, Sun Weidong, on Sunday drew a stark simile between ‘ever-flowing water’ and the friendship between China and Pakistan, saying ‘it is as pure and sincere as the ever-flowing water’.

Addressing a function here, Weidong said that the ‘friendship between men of noble characters is as pure as water’ and added that it was not only a summary of Chinese virtue but also the interpretation of friendship between the two nations.

According to The Nation, Weidong cited a famous Chinese saying that the sea can hold the water stemming from numerous rivers and it is huge because of its inclusiveness.

The Sino-Pak friendship is not only diplomatic but also extends to the common man. One fine example of the friendship between the two countries can be seen when the Pakistanis greet the Chinese with a ‘ni hao’ and ‘xie xie’.

Weidong also drew a comparison between a fresh water spring and the China-Pakistan friendship and said that standing on the shoulders of the veterans, the young generations from the two countries are bringing fresh water into the friendship.
