China said on Tuesday that the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is not only of positive and great significance to the common development of both countries but also conducive to promoting connectivity and shared prosperity of the whole region.
“CPEC is a new cooperation framework jointly built by China and Pakistan with the long-term development of their cooperation across the board in mind,” Chinese Foreign Ministry’s Spokesperson Hua Chunying said during her press briefing.

“We hope that the advancement of this corridor can receive more widespread recognition and support from regional countries and the international community,” she added. Hua expressed confidence that China can work with the Pakistani side in advancing and upholding CPEC.
Responding to a question regarding the 20th Special Representatives’ Meeting on the China-India Boundary Questions to be held in New Delhi, she said, the Special Representatives’ Meeting is not only a high-level channel for the two countries to hold talks on boundary questions but also an important platform for them to conduct strategic communication.
