Caretaker Prime Minister Anwaarul Haq Kakar on Wednesday said Pakistan was committed to the implementation of projects recently concluded with China in diverse sectors.

He said the recent agreements between the two countries would add a new chapter to the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).

In a meeting with Chinese Ambassador Jiang Zaidong, he said China’s Belt and Road Initiative was the guarantor of the development and prosperity of the entire region.

The prime minister expressed gratitude to Chinese President Xi Jinping and the Chinese leadership for the warm welcome and arrangements during his recent visit to China.

Pakistan will take strong steps to implement the Memorandum of Understanding and agreements signed during my recent visit to China, he said.

He said the friendship between China and Pakistan was higher than the towering mountains and deeper than the deep seas.

He mentioned that the people of both countries were benefiting from the fruits of CPEC.

The Chinese ambassador assured the prime minister of China’s full cooperation in the development and economic stability of Pakistan.
