Musharraf flew to Beijing yesterday from Hainan province where he met with President Hu Jintao and attended the Boao Forum for Asia. He will visit Urumqi, capital of the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, on the final stop of his China trip.
He said fighting terrorism, developing the economy and maintaining political stability are the priorities in his new term of presidency, adding that he is happy with the cooperation with China in the fight on terror.
"Fighting terrorism has more to do with acquisition of intelligence than with action. Action is easier than acquiring the knowledge and intelligence of where the terrorist is, who the terrorist is," he said.
The Pakistan president also called for strengthening communication infrastructure between China and Pakistan to bring the two neighbors closer on the economic map.
