China has rolled over repayment of two billion dollar debt to Pakistan for one year.

This was stated by Khurram Schehzad, the Advisor to Finance Minister while talking to Bloomberg News.

The latest rollover comes at a time when Pakistan is going through the first review of its seven billion dollar loan program with the International Monetary Fund.

The IMF review is being closely watched by investors as a sign of progress in economic reforms.

China has built major infrastructure and energy projects in Pakistan to push President Xi Jinping's Belt and Road Initiative.
