Neighbors keen to open trade corridor

Leaders call for work to be sped up on multibillion dollar project with Pakistan

China and Pakistan signed agreements for energy and infrastructure projects on Wednesday as they vowed to soon give "practical shape" to a trade and transport corridor linking the neighbors.

The documents were signed after a meeting between President Xi Jinping and visiting Pakistani President Mamnoon Hussain, who is on his first official overseas visit since assuming office in September.
