Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif was all praise for China in his address at the UN General Assembly today, particularly appreciating the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor which is being objected to by India as it passes through Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.

"We welcome China's vision of 'One Belt, One Road'. The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, announced during President Xi Jinping's visit to Pakistan earlier this year will spur regional economic integration and bring prosperity to the entire region and beyond," Sharif said, addressing the UN General Assembly.

He described the $46 billion economic corridor as "an inspiring model" of South-South cooperation that should be emulated. Sharif also voiced appreciation for China's "proactive role" in promoting peace and prosperity in Afghanistan and the region.
