Former PM terms CPEC “game changer” project, based on peaceful co-existence
BEIJING: Former Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz said that nobody should feel threatened of China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) since it is part of mutually cooperative partnership between the two countries.
“This initiative is not against anybody” he said in an interview with a Chinese newspaper.
He said Pakistan and China have stood by each other for decades. “Sino-Pakistani friendship has been consistent because it is based on the principles of peaceful co-existence, helping each other and creating win-win conditions for both countries” he added.
He said last year “President Xi Jinping visited Pakistan and announced a $46 billion investment project in Pakistan as part of the Belt and Road Initiative. It was a historic development and a game changer”.
He said connectivity, linkage and interdependence between China and Pakistan will all get a boost through this initiative. He said it is a game changer project that will create an environment for Pakistan’s growth.
