BEIJING: Pakistan and China signed eight agreements on Friday agreeing to strengthen economic and diplomatic ties between the two countries.
One of the agreements includes the construction of a 200km-long tunnel that amounts to $18 billion in cost. The Pak-China Economic corridor will link Pakistans Gwadar Port on the Arabian Sea and Kashghar in Xinjiang in northwest China.
For the development of the Economic Corridor, the two countries agreed to collaborate on connectivity construction, people-to-people construction exchanges and exchanges between local governments and organisations.
Pakistan reiterated its desire of following a one-China policy, opposing Taiwan and Tibets independence and supporting Chinas efforts in combating extremism, terrorism and separatism, a statement issued by foreign ministry on Friday said.
The two countries agreed to enhance bilateral cooperation in the fields of maritime security, search and rescue and disaster relief at sea, combating piracy, maritime scientific research, environmental protection, and blue economy.
