Economic corridor (II)

Letter May 17, 2015
Our political leadership must act promptly to eliminate all dangers to the Chinese investment in the region

LAHORE: We have to protect our economic opportunities in the South Asian region. Its progress is linked to the new China-Pakistan Economic Corridor plan and we have to exercise complete political will to make it possible against all odds. However, our enemies are conspiring against us and want to sabotage this economic activity. India and the Western powers do not like this enterprise and the increased cooperation between Pakistan and China.

The entire political leadership has come on board, with the exception of a few, on the need to deal with terrorists and criminals alike and on the need to wipe out all terrorism and crime from our society. Our political leadership must act promptly to eliminate all dangers to the Chinese investment in the region.
