15 Sep, 2015

ISLAMABAD: China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is the biggest national project since the nuclear programme as it will protect and promote Pakistan's economic security.

Newly elected chairman Parliamentary Committee on China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) Senator Mushahid Hussain Sayed Tuesday said that CPEC has united the Federation as progress and prosperity of all the provinces would be ensured, particularly under-developed regions.

He said CPEC is a long-term national project beyond any political party or government and would be a voice of the smaller provinces in promoting the CPEC, whose benefits will reach every nook and cranny of Pakistan, said a press release.

Senator Mushahid Hussain said Parliamentary Committee on CPEC would provide oversight, guidance and serve as a force-multiplier for the building of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).
