Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi has pledged his country’s continued support for Pakistan and urged an acceleration of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), a flagship Belt and Road Initiative infrastructure project.
In a whirlwind series of meetings with Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and other senior officials in Islamabad on Thursday, Wang also vowed to improve security collaboration to counter the country’s long-standing terrorism threats, which have often targeted Chinese nationals.
