ISLAMABAD/LHASA – Iron brothers Pakistan and China injected new vigour into China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) with a push to extend the multi-billion dollar programme.

Pakistani Foreign Minister Jalil Abbas Jilani interacted with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi in Tibet to discuss various issues including China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) on the sidelines of the Third Trans-Himalaya Forum for International Cooperation.
