CPEC on track: Chinese Diplomat

The $46 billion China-Pakistan Economic Corridor which passes through PoK has made progress and benefited local people, the Chinese envoy to Pakistan has said amid reports that opposition to the ambitious project is intensifying both at home and abroad.

The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), a major pilot project under Silk Road Initiative, is going well and the completed part is bringing tangible benefits to local people, China’s ambassador to Pakistan Sun Weidong told state-run Xinhua news agency.

Sun’s comments came after commentaries in Chinese official media recently that opposition is intensifying to the project.
