The two reportedly met at Imran's residence in Bani Gala in Islamabad.

That latest support came in the form of China blocking India's attempt to name the Pakistan-based terror outfit Jaish-e-Muhammad in the Goa Brics declaration on Sunday.At the meeting yesterday, Imran "also appreciated the CPEC initiative, calling it a game changer, expressing good wishes for the successful completion of the project. As regards his party's protests, Imran said the PTI protests were aimed at ending corruption and promoting accountability,"The News International wrote.In fact, an editorial in a state-run Chinese newspaper last month, gave a hint about Beijing 's misgiving about CPEC.
