Islamabad, October 15

China and Pakistan will ink significant agreements regarding motorways and highways during caretaker PM Anwaarul Haq Kakar’s four-day visit to Beijing starting Monday, according to a media report on Sunday.

The agreements would be signed under the USD 60 billion China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) programme. Kakar would travel to Beijing on Monday to participate in the ‘Third Belt and Road Forum (BRF) for International Cooperation’ from October 17 to 18.

“The PM will attend the opening ceremony of the BRF and address the high-level forum on Connectivity in an Open Global Economy,” the PM office said in a post on X on Saturday.

A significant memorandum of understanding scheduled to be signed is related to the establishment of a modern Highway Research and Training Centre (HRTC) with China’s assistance, the paper said.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
