Belt & Road Initiative also serves Pak interest: China

BEIJING: President Xi Jinping has promised that China is looking to serve the long-term interests of Pakistan and other countries involved in the Belt and Road Initiative.

Xi made the remarks at a group study, attended by members of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee on the history of the Silk Road and Maritime Silk Road.

The Belt and Road Initiative, though initiated by China, is not only about China, he said. “I hope people in all countries along the Belt and Road will actually feel the benefit brought by the initiative.” It aims to boost not only China’s development but also that of other countries, Xi said. “While taking care of our own interests, we will give more consideration and care to the interests of other countries,” he said.
