Hussain said that the "East Turkistan" terrorism forces are a common enemy of Pakistan and China and vowed to make joint efforts with China to combat the terrorists.
Pakistan will take effective measures to ensure the safety of Chinese citizens and projects in the country, Hussain said.
Xi hailed the recent development of China-Pakistan relations and said he is willing to pay a state visit to Pakistan at a proper time to push bilateral strategic coordination and pragmatic cooperation to a new stage.

On economic cooperation, Xi called on the two countries to jointly promote the construction of the China-Pakistan economic corridor, an important part of the Silk Road economic belt and the 21st century maritime Silk Road.
He urged the two sides to ensure the operation of joint projects in Pakistan's Gwadar port and Lahore Metro.
