The interview with senior correspondent Hashem Ahelbarra at ‘Talk to Aljazeera’ programme gave an insight into PM Imran Khan’s views on his first two years in office, the fight against corruption, coping with geopolitical changes, economy, media freedom and the country’s response to the coronavirus pandemic.

The Prime Minister said every country looked to its own interests and for Pakistan, “Our future is now linked to China, progressing at a faster pace than any other country in the world.” He dismissed any renegotiation with China over amending the terms of the $62 billion Economic Corridor, saying that “the relationship with China was better even than before.” Imran Khan said Pakistan would like to benefit from the way China made progress and lifted its people out of poverty.

Asked if Pakistan considered ‘resetting’ ties with the US being critical of CPEC, he said, “We probably have the best relationship with US right now as compared to a few years ago, because in Afghanistan, we are ‘partners with peace’.”
