One of the pilot projects of the Belt and Road Initiative is the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, which has already brought the construction of bridges, railways, and ports. China has become Pakistan's largest trading partner, with bilateral trade volume reaching 19 billion US dollars in 2016. The project has attracted Chinese investment of up to 55 billion US dollars, and is expected to create about 2.3 million jobs between 2015 and 2030, giving the Pakistani economy a strong boost as it recovers from years of social instability. The Pakistan Stock Exchange, the country's only bourse, has been ranked the 5th best performing stock market in the year 2016 by Bloomberg.
CGTN's Tian Wei spoke to Nadeem Naqvi, Managing Director of the Pakistan Stock Exchange, about the contribution of Chinese investment to Pakistan's economic development and the many projects under the Belt and Road Initiative.
