Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan met with his Chinese counterpart Li Keqiang in Beijing Saturday, as he seeks aid and investment from the world's second largest economy in hopes of staving off a financial crisis.

Before travelling to China -- one of Pakistan's firmest allies -- Khan said he was striving to obtain financial aid from two unnamed countries after Pakistan secured $6 billion in funding from Saudi Arabia.
