PM Sharif, Chinese premier vow to protect CPEC

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and his Chinese counterpart Premier LI Qiang on Friday expressed their firm commitment to protect China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) project from its ‘detractors and adversaries’. PM Sharif is on a five-day official visit to China with investment high on the agenda. This is Shehbaz Sharif’s first visit to China following the February 8 general elections, and will likely see the inauguration of CPEC’s second phase.
