BEIJING, October 21 (INP) China appreciates Pakistan's objective and just position on issues relating to Xinjiang.

This was stated by a spokesperson of the Chinese Foreign Ministry Zhao Lijian at a news briefing.

In a recent interview Pakistani Prime Minister's national security adviser Moeed Yusuf said that Pakistani delegations visited Xinjiang and saw the real situation there.

People of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang enjoy equal rights protected by law and lead happy lives. He also said that Pakistan knew everything about Xinjiang and the Uyghurs is a non-issue.

Zhao Lijian said, the Pakistani side made a very good statement, which shows that seeing is believing. China appreciates Pakistan's objective and just position on issues relating to Xinjiang.

As a matter of fact, the international community has a fair judgment on relevant issues. Not long ago, 48 countries made a joint statement in support of China on issues relating to Xinjiang at the UNGA Third Committee, voicing their understanding and support for China's just position and their opposition to politicization and double standard on human rights issues and to wanton accusation and interference targeting China.

This fully shows who has the support of the international community. Since the end of 2018, more than a thousand people from over 90 countries have visited Xinjiang, seeing with their own eyes a region enjoying stability and prosperity.

They all spoke highly of Xinjiang's counter-terrorism and de-radicalization experience, which can offer insights for others.

We hope more unbiased people will visit Xinjiang to get to know the real situation there. I'm sure more and more countries will voice their just observation, just like the Pakistani side.
