ISLAMABAD: Minister for planning, development and reforms, Ahsan Iqbal on Thursday reviewed the progress of the ongoing projects under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) in various sectors, including communication, railways, infrastructure, energy, Gwadar Port and special industrial zones.
Chaired by the planning minister, the meeting was also attended by secretary planning Shoaib Ahmed Siddiqui and high officials from Chinese embassy and provincial and federal ministries concerned. The minister directed the federal departments to cooperate with the provincial governments in order to ensure smooth working on the under-construction projects.
In order to ensure timely completion of CPEC projects, the federal government would work together with all stakeholders and would also remove all concerns of the provinces, he added. "It is good to note that federal, as well as provincial governments are working on CPEC projects together like one team,” he added.
Iqbal said that the timely completion of CPEC projects would be a success for the people of Pakistan. New technologies are being introduced in infrastructure, transportation and engineering sectors due to the CPEC projects, he said.
