"In my philosophy, anyone or anything has no future cannot exist," he added.

More than 20 million people across Pakistan were affected by the severe floods starting in this summer, which sent more than 1.5 million people homeless and over 1,700 people dead.

China has devoted a total of 250 million U.S. dollars of aid and cash to the flood-ravaged country and sent rescue team there to help post-disaster relief and reconstruction.

Zardari said his country was grateful to China's aid. Currently the reconstruction work is underway, he said, adding people of northwestern province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, one of the severely-hit areas, started to return home to rebuild houses.

He voiced his hope that both countries would speed up cooperation in agriculture and road construction.

The target to reach bilateral trade volume of 15 billion US dollars by 2011 was just the first step, said a confident Zardari. "Our trade ties will continue to grow, with volumes to reach hundreds of billions in the future."

The Pakistani president left Guangzhou later on Saturday to conclude his China trip. Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao met with him on Friday afternoon ahead of the opening of the Asian Games.
