Pakistan on Wednesday assured its all-weather ally China that its military operations have eliminated from its territory “almost all” Uighur separatists, who have sneaked into the country from China’s restive Muslim-majority Xinjiang. A military operation against “extremist and terrorism” had been “successful in eradicating the terrorism from our country”, President Mamnoon Hussain on Wednesday told his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping at the Great Hall of the People.
“It has also been very helpful in eliminating the ETIM (East Turkistan Islamic Movement)element from our country and I think almost all the ETIM people in our country have been eliminated,” said Hussain.
