TIANJIN, Sept. 1 (Xinhua) — Pakistani Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif on Monday hailed the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) as a practical demonstration of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization's (SCO) vision for regional connectivity and economic integration.
“As leaders of the SCO member states, we have emphasized year after year the importance of strengthening regional connectivity. This requires efficient land, air and rail transport corridors to ensure the reliability of supply chains,” said Sharif, speaking at the 25th meeting of the SCO Council of Heads of State.
According to him, the expansion of CPEC, which is one of the flagship projects of the Belt and Road Initiative, can serve as a practical demonstration of the vision of regional connectivity and economic integration within the SCO.
Sh. Sharif also noted that China's global leadership is expressed not only in the activities of the SCO, but also in such landmark initiatives as the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative and the Global Civilization Initiative.
Speaking about regional security, the Pakistani Prime Minister stressed that Pakistan is committed to developing normal and stable relations with all its neighbours and prefers dialogue and diplomacy over conflict and confrontation.
Sharif assured that Pakistan would continue its efforts along with other SCO members to promote peace, progress and prosperity in the entire region and ensure lasting peace in South Asia. He called for a comprehensive and structured dialogue to discuss all outstanding disputes. –0–
