Shehbaz Sharif’s maiden visit to China as the premier was “unprecedentedly constructive and successful” as both sides agreed to add four new corridors — digital, industrial, green, and health — to the CPEC project.
Replying to questions about the “slowed down” pace of work on the CPEC in the recent past, the Chinese diplomat said he would not blame anyone, in China or Pakistan, for it but could assure [Pakistanis] that from now on, things would speed up.
He said the project would benefit both China and Pakistan, but it would be more beneficial for the latter. He urged Pakistanis in the driving seat should take ownership of the project, while the Chinese could only facilitate them in this regard.
