Pakistan
Chinese Premier Li Keqiang (C), flanked by Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari (L) and caretaker premier Mir Hazar Khan Khoso (centre R) is welcomed by hostesses bearing Chinese flags upon his arrival at Pakistan's Nur Khan air base in Rawalpindi on May 22, 2013. Chinese Premier Li Keqiang vowed to strengthen his country's partnership with Pakistan as he arrived on May 22 for a visit less than two weeks after the country's general election. The long-time allies will look to use the two-day trip to boost trade ties, and Li will meet prime minister-elect Nawaz Sharif -- who has not yet been sworn in -- as well as holding talks with senior officials.
