Pakistan rejects report on Belt and Road Initiative renegotiation

Beijing/Islamabad: China and Pakistan have rejected a media report that Prime Minister Imran Khan's government wants to renegotiate the agreements reached under the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), with Beijing saying Islamabad's commitment to President Xi Jinping's pet project is “unwavering”.

An article by the UK-based Financial Times on Sunday quoted Prime Minister's Adviser on Commerce, Industry and Production, and Investment Abdul Razak Dawood as saying that Pakistan “should put everything on hold for a year so we can get our act together.”
