President Xi Jinping and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif met earlier today and decided to enhance their strategic partnership, including the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).
The two leaders met in the People’s Great Hall of China and discussed broad economic and investment cooperation in addition to exchanging opinions on local and international trends.
Shehbaz and Xi also talked about how the two nations’ “all-weather strategic cooperation partnership” has to be further promoted.
Today is expected to be a busy day in Beijing for PM Shehbaz. In addition to meeting Premier Li Keqiang, he will probably also meet with Pakistani businessmen and Chinese investors.
On Tuesday, Pakistan’s Prime Minister arrived in Beijing on a two-day official visit to meet Chinese leaders, review the “all-weather strategic cooperative partnership,” and discuss regional and global developments.
