BEIJJING: Pakistan Ambassador to China, Moin ul Haque has said that as the flagship project of Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) has achieved spectacular success by developing Pakistan’s energy and infrastructure network and highlighting its potential as the geo-economics hub.
