We disagree with U.S. concerns over CPEC: Firdous
"The economic zones to be established under the CPEC would generate job opportunities for the people
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Information and Broadcasting Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan on Sunday termed the project of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) as the “first priority of Pakistan.”
In a series of tweets, she said this great passage would open new vistas of economic development and prosperity for not only Pakistan and China, but for the whole region.
Not concurring with the U.S. concerns on the project, Awan said the project “is a guarantor to our economic development.”
“China is a longstanding and great friend for Pakistan and has always supported us in the hour of need […] Pak-China friendship has assumed a proverbial status and it is sweeter than honey, higher than Himalayas and deeper than the oceans.
She said economic zones to be established under the CPEC would generate job opportunities for the people.
“The commercial loans taken from China will witness remarkable reduction in the months and years to come.”
