President Musharraf promised Chinese leaders that he would not let terrorists use his country as a base including separatists from China’s heavily Muslim north-west, as the two sides signed an agreement to extradite each others’ criminals. But Chinese state television reported that Musharraf vowed to oppose terrorism as well as the East Turkestan Islamic Movement, which is banned in China.

Also state media said leaders of both the countries pledged to battle separatist Muslims campaigning for an independent Chinese homeland while inking economic deals aimed at boosting trade ties.

Beijing accuses the group of seeking independence for the Xinjiang region, and Xinjiang’s Communist Party secretary alleged in September that the group’s members have trained in Pakistan and have links to al-Qaeda. He offered no evidence to back those claims.
