ISLAMABAD: China’s powerful ruling party – Communist Party of China (CPC) has announced to successfully complete China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) at any cost.
This resolve came from within China’s powerful ruling party – Communist Party of China (CPC) – and that too with a greater sense of gratification over the manner Pakistan’s political leadership took a consensus decision about CPEC’s western alignment.
CPC’s Vice Minister for International Department Chen Fengxiang reaffirmed that it’s really gratifying that all the political parties in Pakistan have consensus on this project. He said that the CPEC will be built with consensus within ‘one belt one road’ framework.
China had proposed the idea of CPEC to Pakistan in September, 2013 when Pakistan People’s Party Parliamentarian (PPPP) was in power with party’s co-chairperson Asif Ali Zardari, as President of Pakistan.
The proposal was deliberated threadbare by China and Pakistan and both the countries eventually agreed on North-South route connecting all the four provinces through highways with Gwadar port and Kashgar, the western most Chinese city.
