Pakistan's PM to Discuss Economy, Kashmir With Chinese President

Ayaz Gul

   ISLAMABAD - Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan will begin an official
   visit Tuesday to China, where he will meet with President Xi Jinping
   and Premier Li Keqiang to discuss bilateral ties and the security
   situation arising from India's recent actions in the disputed Kashmir
   region.

   Khan's office said Monday his two-day visit "will be instrumental in
   further cementing Pakistan's economic, investment and strategic ties"
   between the neighboring countries.

   Pakistan's tensions with India have heightened since India's Hindu
   nationalist government abolished the semi-autonomous status for Kashmir
   in August and imposed a clampdown in the Muslim-majority region, which
   both countries claim in full.

   "The prime minister will exchange views on regional developments
   including the state of peace and security in South Asia arising from
   the situation in occupied Jammu & Kashmir," the statement said.
