"The plan will decisively overhaul, modernize and strengthen China's growth engine, laying stable foundations for further growth," said Amanullah Khan, chair of the Pakistan-China Business and Investment Promotion Committee.
China will be the leading source of global growth in the coming five years, thanks to an expanding market, ample capital and more commodities, he said.
