Mamnoon said that the people of Pakistan and history would always remember and acknowledge the contribution of Chinese workers, engineers and professionals who were involved in the completion of CPEC and other allied projects exactly in the same manner as they have affection and respect for those Chinese engineers and workers who took part in the construction of Karakoram Highway.
