A major outcome of the visit was the agreement to upgrade the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). Dubbed “CPEC 2.0”, this new phase will transform the project into a corridor focused on growth, livelihoods, green energy, and openness. Both nations agreed to deepen cooperation in industry, agriculture, and mining to boost Pakistan’s economic resilience and self-sustained development.
China also confirmed its support for key infrastructure projects, including the development of Gwadar Port and the vital KKH realignment project. In a significant move, China welcomed third-party investment in the major ML-1 railway upgrade, opening the door for broader international participation.
