Beijing: Pakistan and China are finding new "comfort zones" to consolidate their ties, President Asif Ali Zardari has said, declaring that Islamabad will be a "force multiplier" in China's emergence as the world's largest economy.
    
The future direction for the two countries will be to look at the world together where they could produce and support new global demand, the Pakistan President said in an interview to the Chinese official media. "China is becoming new Japan. It is becoming the largest economy in the world in future," he said. While it becomes "the world's largest economy, its friends will be part of that rise," Mr Zardari told People's Daily Online in a recent interview carried today.
    
China is currently the second largest economy after the US.
    
"Pakistan and China are finding new comfort zones. We can see more collaboration between both. The reason for them to evolve together has become greater. We both need each other.
I find that Pakistan will be the force multiplier for the growth of China," he said.
