``Gen Musharraf will continue with his official goodwill visit to China. There is no change to his schedule,'' a Pakistani official told PTI over telephone.

Before leaving for Beijing, Gen Musharraf had warned India against provoking Pakistan and against air incursions across the disputed border.

Gen Musharraf, who is here since Monday on a seven-day visit, met with senior Chinese officials including President Jiang Zemin and discussed state-to-state relations and military-to-military relations.

Meanwhile, there was no official comment from the Chinese side on the Indian air strikes in the Kargil sector of Jammu and Kashmir.

``We don't have a reply yet to your question,'' the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman's officetold PTI when asked for Beijing's reaction.

On Tuesday, Gen Fu Quanyou, Chief of General Staff of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) said the military ties with Pakistan are a vital part of China's bilateral relations and an important part of the Sino-Pakistani comprehensive partnership.

However, Chinese leaders urged both India and Pakistan to live peacefully and solve their disputes through peaceful means.

President Jiang, also General Secretary of the ruling Communist Party of China and Chairman of the Central Military Commission (CMC), China's top military organ, remarked that without peace and stability in South Asia, the whole of Asia will not have prosperity.

``Without the stability and development in South Asia, there would be no peace or prosperity in the whole of Asia,'' Jiang said, adding that China sincerely hoped that the subcontinent maintained peace and stability.

Gen Fu also made similar remarks during his meeting with Gen Musharraf here on Tuesday. ``South Asia is animportant part of Asia,'' Gen Fu said, and the stability and development of the region is closely connected to that of the whole continent,'' the top Chinese military leader said.

During Gen Musharraf's ongoing visit to China, Pakistan is expected to order more conventional weapons from Beijing and may also reach understanding on ways to further promote military-to- military cooperation between the two sides.
