China and Pakistan pledged to push forward the development of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, China's News Agency (Xinhua) reported.
The pledge came during a meeting between Chinaa's Vice Premier Zhang Gaoli and a Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz Sharif Group) delegation led by Chief Minister of Punjab Shahbaz Sharif.
"As this year marks the 65th anniversary of the establishment of bilateral ties, China is willing to work with Pakistan to develop the building of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor to achieve mutual development," Zhang said.
"With already friendly relations with the Pakistan Muslim League, the Communist Party of China looks forward to enhancing high-level exchanges and sharing experiences in state governance with the party." Shahbaz expressed his deep sympathy to residents of flood-hit areas in China and said 10,000 tons of rice would be donated on behalf of Pakistan.
"Pakistan will take measures to cooperate with China to facilitate the smooth progress of the economic corridor program," Shahbaz said.
The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor is a pilot project under the Belt and Road initiative. China and Pakistan have recently launched a host of projects focusing on energy and transport infrastructure.
