ISLAMABAD: The Ministry of Planning, Development and Reforms on Tuesday clarified that the propaganda that China prefers Hattar over Rashakai as priority Special Economic Zone is absolutely untrue and the speculations in this regard are out of context and one-sided.
A spokesman for the ministry, Asim Khan, said that the Rashakai Economic Zone site has been identified by the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government as priority location, approved for inclusion in CPEC by 6th Joint Cooperation Committee held on Dec 29, 2016 in Beijing.
He said that the zone site has been preferred by the KP government due to its location on M-1-Peshawar to Karachi Motorway which under CPEC Transport Plan is part of Western and Eastern, both the corridors. The impression that all falls on Western route is incorrect, he stressed.
