GAWADAR: Chief of Army Staff General Raheel Sharif has said that the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor is the grand manifestation of the deep-rooted ties between the two countries.
The Army Chief said this while addressing a seminar titled “Development of Balochistan and Economic Corridor” in Gwadar.
General Raheel Sharif said that the corridor is indeed a project of peace and prosperity for the region and beyond, however Indian agency RAW is trying to sabotage the mega project.

General Raheel urged the international community to come forward in blocking external help to terrorist organisations, their facilitators, abettors and financiers. He said we will not allow anyone to create impediments and turbulence in any part of Pakistan.
Speaking on the occasion, Balochistan Chief Minister Nawab Sanaullah Zehri said no hurdles in the way of peace and prosperity of the province will be tolerated. He said the provincial government and Pakistan Army are jointly working to establish peace in the province.
