China, Pakistan ink deals worth $15 billion

• Chinese premier Wen Jiabao visits Pakistan after India.
  
• China is the only P-5 country to send a head of state/government to Pakistan this year, while the other four permanent members of the U.N. Security Council paid high-level visits to India on their calendar this year. Even from outside P-5, such a high-level visit to Pakistan has become a rarity.
• Besides agreements/memoranda of understanding worth $15 billion, Mr. Wen announced a $410-million package for the ongoing flood relief work.
• During their one-on-one interaction, the two premiers are understood to have discussed ways and means of broadbasing and deepening the strategic partnership between China and Pakistan, though Prime Minister Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani maintained that this relationship was not directed against any country.
