Zardari may seek N-deal with China

Amid indications that Pakistan was seeking an atomic agreement with China on the lines of the

Indo-US nuclear pact, President Asif Ali Zardari will visit Beijing next week for talks with the Chinese leadership to strengthen their “all-weather” bilateral ties.

“As a guest of Chinese President Hu Jintao, Zardari will pay a state visit to China from October 14 to 17,” Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Qin Gang announced here.
