China made the case for Pakistan in a veiled statement, saying it hoped the NSG would ���equally address the aspirations of all parties.��� A number of analysts have taken the phrase ���of all parties��� to mean a reference to its ally Pakistan.
Chinese Foreign Minister, Cheng Jingye, head of Chinese delegation scheduled to visit on Sunday said, ���It is also China's hope that the NSG would equally address the aspirations of all parties for the peaceful use of nuclear power while adhering to the nuclear non-proliferation mechanism.���
