Imran Khan vows to implement China-Pakistan economic corridor projects

Prime Minister Imran Khan has expressed his determination to complete all China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) projects.

In a meeting on Friday to review progress on the CPEC projects, Imran Khan expressed his satisfaction over the pace of the ongoing projects. He said CPEC projects will be completed "at all costs."

“CPEC is a testimony of the time-tested and deep-rooted Pakistan-China friendship,” the Imran Khan said.

He expressed the belief that CPEC will continue to take pre-eminence in the country's development strategy.

PM Khan emphasised that focus of industrialisation should be export-oriented and import substitution and our policies should be framed accordingly.

He was briefed over the progress of the ongoing CPEC projects. The meeting was informed that the current government not only completed the ongoing projects started by the previous government, but was able to complete a large number of other important projects in two-and-a-half years.

The premier gave instructions to prepare the youth to take up new jobs being created by the incoming industry and high-quality agriculture farms.
