Pakistan seeks closer military ties with China

Chinese experts: Possible upgrades 'tiny' compared with US-India deals

ZHUHAI, Guangdong - Pakistan is interested in buying more defense systems and equipment from China, and hopes to deepen cooperation to upgrade its armed forces, a top Pakistan Air Force officer said on Wednesday.

But the envisaged cooperation, however, does not target any country, and is "tiny" in scale compared to huge defense deals signed by US President Barack Obama in India earlier this month, Chinese experts said.
