Musharraf slams Western meddling

    Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf yesterday condemned attempts to undermine the Beijing Olympics and opposed the West's "superimposition" of democratic values and human rights on China.

    "We are extremely glad that preparations for the Olympic Games are so outstanding," Musharraf told China Daily at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse.

    "We condemn any attempt by anyone to undermine the process of Olympic preparations, especially the Olympic torch (relay)," he said.

    Musharraf, who has on several recent occasions promised to ensure the torch relay in Islamabad is a success, yesterday lamented attempts by some Western politicians and media to politicize the Olympics by smearing China's Tibet policy and human rights situation.

    "First of all, we consider Tibet an inalienable part of China," he said. "If at all anyone is harboring or abetting the separatists, we condemn that.

    "You cannot superimpose the human rights and democracy environment of a Western country onto other countries," he said.

    "That is the error that the West and the Western media makes. This does not work at all and this must stop."

    He said in every country, human rights and democracy have to be tailored according to its own dynamics, which China is doing well.

    "The basic responsibility of any government is the security of the nation, progress and development, welfare and well-being of its people. Obviously this is being achieved (in China)," Musharraf said.

    "I think China is a typical example of development and progress, the welfare and well-being of its people," he said.

    Musharraf flew to Beijing yesterday from Hainan province where he met with President Hu Jintao and attended the Boao Forum for Asia. He will visit Urumqi, capital of the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, on the final stop of his China trip.

    He said fighting terrorism, developing the economy and maintaining political stability are the priorities in his new term of presidency, adding that he is happy with the cooperation with China in the fight on terror.

    "Fighting terrorism has more to do with acquisition of intelligence than with action. Action is easier than acquiring the knowledge and intelligence of where the terrorist is, who the terrorist is," he said.

    The Pakistan president also called for strengthening communication infrastructure between China and Pakistan to bring the two neighbors closer on the economic map.

    Musharraf suggested during his talks with Hu in Sanya that a railway along the Karakoram Highway linking Gwadar port with China be built.

    Musharraf also proposed building an oil and gas pipeline to offer a short cut for China's energy supplies from the Gulf, which are now shipped along India and through the Malacca Straits.

    "If we can supplement this (the Karakoram Highway) with a rail link, and also maybe an oil and gas pipeline link; and then you take the Central Asian republics with that, the whole area will open out through Pakistan to the rest of the world," he said.

    "So my thoughts are that we should now be thinking bigger, beyond bilateral or the region."
