China, Pakistan mark mega infrastructure anniversary

Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng attend an official ceremony to mark the 10th anniversary of an enormous economic plan that is the cornerstone of Beijing's Belt and Road Initiative.

Since its initiation in 2013, the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) has seen tens of billions of dollars funnelled into massive transport, energy and infrastructure projects.
