"Pakistan will take measures to cooperate with China to facilitate the smooth progress of the economic corridor programme," Sharif said. Amid security concerns over the construction of the US $46 billion China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, Pakistan on Monday vowed to take steps to facilitate its "smooth progress". The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor is a pilot project under the Belt and Road initiative. China and Pakistan recently launched a host of projects focusing on energy and transport infrastructure, it said. Sharif's remarks come amid security concerns over the construction of the corridor that will pass through PoK.
