Federal Minister for Planning Development and Special Initiatives Ahsan Iqbal directed the ministries concerned to ‘complete homework’ before the joint cooperation committee (JCC)’s 11th meeting, scheduled to take place at the end of October, so that the presented projects are finalised.
Secretary planning, secretary of communications, executive director CPEC and representatives from different ministries were also present in the meeting.
Premier Shehbaz’s expected visit to China at the end of this month makes this meeting even more important.
Different projects, supposed to be presented in the 11th JCC, were reviewed. These projects were from the areas of energy, information technology, social and economic growth, industrial cooperation, science and technology, transport infrastructure and international cooperation.
Suggestions put forward by ministries were discussed in detail. The federal minister directed the power division to speed up the Gilgit Baltistan’s energy policy process so that progress in the already planned projects is made.
Furthermore, Ahsan Iqbal also directed the ministries to focus on long term projects.
