Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif arrived in Beijing on Friday to participate in the Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation, which will be held in the Chinese capital on May 14 and 15.
29 heads of state and government will attend the forum, the highest-profile international meeting on the Belt and Road since Chinese President Xi Jinping put forward the initiative in 2013.
A flagship project of the Belt and Road Initiative, the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) holds special significance. For countries along the CPEC, the corridor is not only about economic gains, but also about cross-cultural and people-to-people contact.
Railways, highways, and ports are some of the developments helping shape the economic corridor aimed at improving connectivity between China and Pakistan.
