Leaders plan to use the meeting to strengthen political trust, expand economic cooperation, and reinforce mutual support in global affairs For Pakistan, China remains one of its most reliable allies, particularly during times of economic and political challenges.
Expanding the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor
One of the main areas of discussion will be the progress and expansion of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor . This flagship project, which is part of China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), has already transformed infrastructure in Pakistan through new roads, energy projects, and industrial development.

The prime minister plans to push for greater market access for Pakistani goods in China, aiming to help reduce the country’s trade deficit

Both sides are likely to review cooperation on counterterrorism, border security, and peace in South Asia.

The visit is expected to reaffirm both countries’ commitment to working closely on these challenges.
