BEIJING: Pakistan welcomed the Chinese State Council’s decision to increase investment in infrastructure projects in Xinjiang, including the construction of the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railway and the China-Pakistan railway. “This decision by the State Council reflects the vision of the leadership of the two countries to enhance connectivity between China and Pakistan,” Pakistan’s Ambassador to China Masood Khan said on Monday. “A rail link between our two countries will shorten distances and create new transportation, trade and energy corridors,” he added.
