QUETTA: The Chinese Consul General in Karachi, Li Bijian, has said his country will continue to cooperate with the people of Pakistan, especially Balochistan, in every field of life.

Speaking through a video link at a ceremony held at the Quetta Press Club on Wednesday for handing over a modern blood testing machine and other equipment to the Pakhtunkhwa Blood Bank, he said development and prosperity of Balochistan was very dear to China.

Mr Li said the Pakhtunkhwa Blood Bank was serving humanity without any discrimination.

He said during his visit to the blood bank in January last year the PkMAP leaders had informed him about donation of blood to the needy.

He said it was a matter of happiness that this blood bank had been serving the people for the past 23 years.
