Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has called on India to embrace the opportunities presented by the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) instead of impeding its progress. His statement, made to commemorate the 10-year anniversary of CPEC, emphasised the project’s significance not only for Pakistan and China but also for Iran, Afghanistan, the Middle East, and the wider region. The prime minister emphasised that CPEC is more than just infrastructure development; it aims to connect people’s hearts and improve various aspects of society, including healthcare, education, and skill development. Prime Minister Shehbaz extended congratulations to the leadership and people of both Pakistan and China, highlighting CPEC as a testament to the strong strategic partnership between the two nations. The prime minister also highlighted the project’s contributions to disaster management and agricultural development, including food security initiatives.
