Pakistan and China Push Forward to Complete Landmark Infrastructure Projects

On the eve of the International Transport Conference, Pakistan’s Federal Minister for Communications, Privatization, and Board of Investment, Abdul Aleem Khan, met with China’s Transport Minister Li Xiapeng in Beijing to discuss four major infrastructure projects in Pakistan.

The meeting focused on accelerating the completion of vital projects, including the ML-1 railway line, the M-6 and M-9 motorways, and the second phase of the Karakoram Highway (KKH). Both sides also deliberated on the construction of the Kaghan-Naran-Jhal Khand-Babusar Top Tunnel, which will link to the KKH.

They further explored public-private partnerships and financial models for these projects, emphasizing the completion of missing links in the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), such as the motorway connecting Sukkur to Hyderabad and Karachi, and the ML-1 railway linking the Seaport to Multan and Lahore.

Minister Abdul Aleem Khan expressed gratitude to China for its consistent support, expressing hope for enhanced cooperation.

In response, Li Xiapeng assured Pakistan of continued backing. The meeting was attended by Pakistan’s Ambassador to China, Khalil Hashmi, along with senior officials from both nations.
