Speaking at a development conference on the impact of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), he said the significance of a Pakistan-China economic alliance had "raised eyebrows" in the region. "In this context, I must highlight that India, our immediate neighbour, has openly challenged this development initiative," Sharif told the conference in Gwadar. "I would like to make a special reference to Indian intelligence agency RAW that is blatantly involved in destabilising Pakistan. Let me make it clear that we will not allow anyone to create impediments and turbulence in any part of Pakistan. Therefore, it is important for all to leave behind confrontation and focus on cooperation."
