Pakistan eager to proceed with Belt and Road projects

Pakistan wants to work with China to ensure the earliest implementation of the Gwadar Port project, as it is "extremely important" for people of that area as well as for the entire country, Pakistani Foreign Secretary Tehmina Janjua said on Tuesday.

"It should be a symbol that indicates the close relationship between our two countries, as well as how this relationship affects the people of Pakistan," she told China Daily.

Janjua is on her first visit to China, from Monday to Wednesday, after becoming foreign secretary in March.
