Chinese President Xi Jinping has delayed his official visit to Pakistan following security concerns in the country.
President Jinping canceled the official visit as Chinese team showed security concerns amid ongoing political crisis in Islamabad followed by sit-ins, sources said.
The Chinese President has been scheduled to inaugurate power projects besides finalisation of business deals with Pakistan during his two-day visit from September 14-16.
China showed willingness to invest $34 billion in Pakistan.
Pakistani government had suggested President Jinping to land in Lahore, the provincial capital of Punjab, following ongoing protests in the federal capital Islamabad.
However, the development cleared the vague picture that Pakistani suggestion turned down by the Chinese authorities.
The cancellation of one of the best strategic partner of Pakistan sparked severe criticism in various circles against the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) protestors declaring the major reason of recent economic shock to the country.
Earlier, Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa cancelled his official visit on August 20 due to deteriorated political situation to Pakistan since August 14.
