In an interview with CGTN, Pakistan's Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari praised China for its leadership and vision, saying, "I think that this is the kind of leadership that is required on the global arena."

Speaking at the 2023 World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, which was attended by top business and political figures from around the world, Zardari also applauded Vice Premier Liu He's declaration that China is welcoming of foreign investment.

"There are many countries out there that perhaps want to heighten geopolitical tensions or see their national interest in an increase of tensions," said Zardari. "But Pakistan is not one of those countries. We would like to build bridges. We would like to find a ground where countries can cooperate."
