Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has vowed to further strengthen Pakistan's strategic partnership with China.

He was talking to a delegation of China National Nuclear Corporation in Islamabad on Wednesday.

The Prime Minister said K-3 Nuclear Power Plant built in Karachi with Chinese assistance will be inaugurated tomorrow (Thursday).

He said this project will increase total production of electricity from nuclear power plants in Karachi to 2200 megawatts.

Shehbaz Sharif said China is a time tested friend of Pakistan and strategic partnership between the two countries is ideal.

He said billions of dollars of Chinese investment under China-Pakistan Economic Corridor is a proof of strong bond between the two countries.

The Prime Minister said different projects under CPEC helped significantly in controlling the electricity shortfall in Pakistan.
