ISLAMABAD — China ’s Premier Li Qiang on Monday inaugurated a Beijing -funded airport built in restive southwestern Pakistan a week after militants killed two Chinese workers, as he arrived for a regional security meeting in Islamabad.starting Tuesday to discuss how to boost security and economic ties between the member states. It was founded by Russia and China to counter Western alliances.
Li vowed to “continue to working hand-in-hand” with Pakistan on joint economic projects, like the Gwadar airport, which he said was built and modernized in five years in the deserts of Balochistan. The airport's opening came hours after Tarar said a high-level investigation into the killings of the Chinese workers in Karachi was still underway. The Foreign Ministry in Beijing said Monday that Chinese investigators were sent to Pakistan and had met with authorities.
On Monday, at least four police officers and five insurgents were killed in an attack on a police station in the district of Bannu in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, police said. No one has claimed responsibility but the suspicion is likely to fall on the Pakistani Taliban, who often target security forces across the country.
