In September this year, during his visit to the United States, the Pakistani Prime Minister presented Trump with a rare earth treasure box and announced that he would cooperate with the United States to develop rare earths. Some people think that Pakistan is engaging in "backstabbing" by giving rare earths containing Chinese technology to the United States. For this statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs publicly responded.

First, Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Swed said that the two sides have communicated on the relevant issues of U.S. and Pakistani mineral cooperation.

Pakistan emphasized that the exchanges between Pakistan and the United States will never harm China's interests and China-Pakistan cooperation. The ore displayed and presented by Pakistani leaders to US leaders is a raw ore sample of Pakistan gems purchased by staff.

In other words, Pakistan has informed China in advance of the situation prior to jointly developing rare earth with the United States, and stressed that the cooperation between the two countries in the field of minerals will not harm China's interests and China-Pakistan cooperation.

To know, China has provided great help to Pakistan in the development and refining of rare earth technologies.If China's help is removed, Pakistan does not need to say that it will export rare earth to the United States, whether it can be smoothly mined and refined out of rare earth, it is another matter.

Secondly, the Chinese side stressed that the relevant reports, or lack of understanding of the facts, or catching the wind, or even provoking separation, are unfounded.

This statement equally defines the mineral cooperation between the United States and Pakistan, according to the current intelligence control of China, in terms of rare-earth exports, the current relevant actions of Pakistan are definitely in line with our latest rare-earth export control policy.

In addition, it is also emphasized that someone may use this news to provoke the relationship between the two countries.

The U.S. has this possibility, and India¡¯s possibility is not low, but regardless of who, this provocation to China-Pakistan relations has clearly failed.

Third, China emphasizes that China and Pakistan are all-weather strategic partners, and the "iron friendship" between the two countries has grown stronger over time. The two sides have always maintained a high degree of strategic mutual trust and communicated closely on major issues related to the common interests of both sides.

This statement emphasizes two points. The first point is that the relationship between China and Pakistan will not be adversely affected by this incident. The relationship between China and Pakistan is as stable as before.

Second, not only has Pakistan initially informed the Chinese side in advance of the details of the cooperation between the United States and Pakistan in the field of minerals, but in the future, Pakistan will also communicate closely with China on all important issues involving China's interests and China-Pakistan friendship.
