Islamabad (People’s Daily) – In a video statement from the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China in Islamabad, Chinese Ambassador Yao Jing said China and Pakistan stand together for the principles of peace, justice and cooperation for a better world.

“The world today is full of challenges and difficulties. The spirit of sacrifice and devotion is extremely important,” Yao said.

Yao delivered his remarks Sunday afternoon. He extended greetings and well-wishes to the Pakistani people ahead of the upcoming Eid al-Adha (Festival of Sacrifice).
