BEIJING: China praised Pakistan for its “strong support” on its position on the Hong Kong problem during a debate at the United Nations General Assembly’s Third Committee.

Speaking at a regular briefing in Beijing, Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Hua Chunying said Pakistan and Cuba represented the relevant countries and delivered speeches, highlighting that China’s implementation of Hong Kong National Security Law is good for the steady implementation of the one country, two systems.

She pointed out that Pakistan also supported China’s measures in Xinjiang to protect people’s rights, and opposed politicisation and double standards on the human rights issue.—NNI
