On the evening of October 19, the Chinese leader met with Pakistan's acting Prime Minister Anwar ul Haq Kakar, who was in Beijing to attend the 3rd Belt and Road Forum (BRF).
At the meeting, President Xi Jinping affirmed that the two countries should build an “upgraded version” of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, while promoting cooperation in industrial parks, agriculture, mining, new energy, and early implementation of major connectivity projects.
In particular, Mr. Xi Jinping also told Mr. Kakar: "We hope that the Pakistani side will ensure the security of Chinese agencies, organizations and personnel in Pakistan."
China is a major ally and investor in Pakistan, but separatist and Islamist militants have attacked Chinese facilities in recent years, killing several Chinese personnel.
