The Prime Minister said the government is pursuing such policies that ensure sustainable development of the country. A network of highways and motorways is being constructed in the country.
He said over the last one and a half years, road infrastructure projects worth 850 billion rupees have been launched which will help both the farmers and the industrialists to take their produce to the international markets.
Minister for Information and Broadcasting Pervaiz Rashid, Punjab Governor Rafique Rajwana and Chinese Ambassador Sun Weidong to Pakistan were also present on the occasion.
M-4 motorway project will be completed at a cost of around Rs22 billion in two years.
After completion, the project will improve the country’s vital north-south road network and promote economic growth, create jobs and ensure regional connectivity.
The Motorway M-4 Faisalabad-Multan 240 KMs is divided into four sections.
Faisalabad-Gojra and Khanewal-Multan sections have already been completed, while work is underway on Gojra-Shorkot section. Work on the fourth section of Shorkot-Khanewal will begin today.
The M-4 is also a step towards positioning Pakistan to act as a transit artery for goods moving between the port city of Karachi and Gwadar in the south to Torkham on the northern border with Afghanistan. It will eventually link the ports with the land-locked regions of Central Asia.
