Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said Tuesday that a high-powered delegation from China would soon visit Pakistan after his “successful” trip to Beijing as the South Asian nation seeks economic support from its brotherly nation.
“A high-powered Chinese delegation will be visiting Pakistan soon,” PM Shehbaz said while briefing the federal cabinet members on his recently concluded five-day trip to China.
Shedding light on his trip, the premier revealed that the Chinese side, on multiple occasions, raised their concerns. However, he reassured that the government prioritised the security issue at every step whether it be discussions at government-to-government or government-to-business or other high-level forums.
Terming the visit “successful”, the prime minister lauded the cabinet members for their efforts and for the fruitful trip to the neighbouring country.
He expressed confidence that the collective efforts would lead to the swift and successful execution of the second phase of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor.
The prime minister told the Cabinet that the collective efforts by his team including the federal ministers and federal secretaries came to fruition and that the visit was a great opportunity to strengthen the Pakistan-China bilateral relations.
He said that despite the security issue highlighted during the engagements with the Chinese leadership and business community, the visit concluded with a “positive note.”
