CPEC has helped bring $25.4 billion direct investment to Pakistan in accumulative terms and created almost 75,000 jobs in Pakistan. The Pakistani people call China-Pakistan friendship as higher than the mountain, deeper than the sea and sweeter than honey. Karakoram Highway Phase II (Havelian-Thakot section), the “China-Pakistan Friendship Road”, was completed and opened to traffic by the end of July 2020, shortening the five-and-a-half-hour drive to less than two hours. We are committed to building a green corridor. We will jointly advocate the concept of “green mountains are golden mountains” by strengthening cooperation on green infrastructure, green energy, green finance, green agriculture, green forests, green investment, and international low-carbon recycling parks.
