Gwadar International Airport construction underway, confirms CPEC chairman

China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) Chairman Asim Saleem Bajwa on Saturday said the Gwadar International Airport construction is underway.

The chairman took to microblogging website Twitter and reaffirmed Pakistan's commitment to launching and completing all projects in Gwadar in line with Prime Minister Imran Khan's vision.

"Mega airport costing $230M will be a harbinger of development of Gwadar City/Gwadar Port," he wrote.

A day earlier, the premier emphasised that the CPEC project would be completed in any circumstances as the project was a guarantee for the bright future of Pakistan.

In line with his vision to provide relief to poor people by reopening the construction industry, Imran, while reviewing the progress of projects under CPEC, remarked that "CPEC is an excellent project in terms of socio-economic development of Pakistan."
