ISLAMABAD: The All Pakistan Business Forum (APBF) asked the government to ensure that all provinces benefit equitably from the huge opportunities promised by the implementation of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) project.
APBF President Ibrahim Qureshi described CPEC as a transnational project which promises faster growth and infrastructural development of the whole region, effectively serving the long-term economic interests of both the countries.
He added that; “We appreciate China’s robust investment plans and Trans-national initiative for boosting cross-border trade activities. With such huge foreign investment coming in the country, it is essential that all provinces get equitable benefits, opportunities and budgets for strengthening their infrastructure and trade activities. It inspires new possibilities to set up industrial sites and energy projects in all the provinces of Pakistan, along this new road and rail network, especially in the economically deprived areas”.
