China is ready to further advance strategic cooperation with Pakistan, Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao said Thursday.

During a meeting with visiting Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari, Wen said China and Pakistan share common interests.

He pledged to help Pakistan overcome its economic problems by offering assistance, however, he did not specify what type of assistance China would provide.

Wen said the two countries should continue to facilitate trade and economic cooperation in a practical, efficient and orderly way.

Zardari expressed willingness to work with China to advance the two country's political friendship, which he said is "deeper than the sea."

This is Zardari's first overseas trip since assuming office last month. He promised Wen, during a September meeting in New York, that he would come first to China.

Zardari said ties between Pakistan and China have been fostered by several generations of leaders.
