ISLAMABAD: The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) projects will open new avenues and opportunities for the people of this country, said Planning and Development Member Governance Tariq Hijazi.

While talking to PTV on Thursday, he said that foreign direct investment of $46 billion was coming to Pakistan through CPEC, which will provide access to other countries besides China.

A comprehensive strategy adopted by the present government will bring development, create opportunities and improve the life of the common man, said Hijazi.

We’ll make CPEC a success, come what may: COAS

Due to the peaceful environment and better law and order situation, Japan, EU and the Asian Development Bank were ready to provide funding for Bhasha dam, he added.

“China wants to see continuity in policies, stable government and better security for the people coming to invest in Pakistan under CPEC.”
