Pakistan's top military spokesman said on Friday that his country's traditional ally, China, was ready to support Pakistan "in all eventualities"  

 

Major-General Rashid Qureshi said “China stood by Pakistan and still stands by Pakistan” in a news conference reported by the Reuters news agency.  

 

The General had been asked whether Chinese leaders, visited by Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf en route to a South Asian summit, had said they were ready to support Pakistan if its current standoff with India deteriorated further. (www.albawaba.com
