Beijing offers to boost China-Pakistan corridor safety as terror threat grows

What happened: China pledged to work with Pakistan on "high-level security cooperation" and to keep their flagship infrastructure project "safe," as terrorism continues to disrupt a key Belt and Road region. Liu Haixing, head of the party's International Department, delivered the messages in meetings with Pakistan's Asim Munir and Shehbaz Sharif on Monday. Why it matters: The pledge signals Beijing's concern that terrorism is disrupting a key region for the Belt and Road Initiative, and it came during Liu's first official visit to the South Asian country.
