None of the projec­ts sent to planni­ng minist­ry for inclus­ion in CPEC entert­ainedPESHAWAR: The federal government has ignored all the projects proposed by the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa government for financing under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). The K-P government had proposed several projects for inclusion in CPEC, but the federal government did not say yes to any of them, according to the provincial government officials. “None of the projects we sent to the Ministry of Planning, Development and Reforms have been included in the CPEC,” said an official who requested not to be named. The officials said the K-P government had already signed memoranda of understanding with different Chinese companies for the energy projects. The K-P government expressed its resentment over the feasibility studies of all the projects (in both hard and soft forms) to the ministry of planning on Thursday.
