Islamabad: Islamabad Chamber of Small Traders (ICST) on Saturday said political developments and economic situation will not hurt the CPEC.
The recent terror incidents are condemnable but these will also fail to derail or interrupt the world’s biggest ongoing developmental project, it said.
The inauguration of Pak-China Optic Fibre Cable Project is a good development which will increase business, employment, boost telecom industry and reduce dependence on the submarine cable, said Patron Islamabad Chamber of Small Traders Shahid Rasheed Butt.
He said that all the elements including enemy nations, opponents of the economic corridor at home and others have failed to slow the pace of the project.
Shahid Rasheed Butt said that foreign media recently started a campaign against the project but China’s timely intervention put everything to rest.
The 3,218-km set-up of roads, railways and dry ports from Gwadar Port to Kashgar will enhance lives of about three billion people and help China to do trade with the half of the world through Pakistan, he said.
The energy master plan of power generation projects to overcome energy crises would also benefit Pakistan while providing a platform of cooperation in the industrial and agricultural sector and will boost the tourism industry of Pakistan.
