Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf accused Western leaders and media of politicizing the Olympics by criticizing China’s human rights record and its policy in Tibet.

“First of all, we consider Tibet an inalienable part of China,” he said in an interview with China Daily on Sunday. If “anyone is harboring or abetting the separatists, we condemn that.”

President Pervez Musharraf is in Beijing to meet with various Chinese officials.

“You cannot superimpose the human rights and democracy environment of a Western country onto other countries,” Musharraf added. “That is the error that the West and the Western media makes. This does not work at all and this must stop.”

He also said he would cooperate with China in the fight against terror.Pakistan and China have had a close relationship for decades.
