The Lahore Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) has welcomed Chief of Army Staff General Qamar Bajwa's pledge to make China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) successful. LCCI President Abdul Basit on Thursday said that the government's and military's commitment to the CPEC has given an obvious message to the anti-Pakistan elements and made it clear that no conspiracy against this project would be tolerated.
"The government and military deserve appreciation for safeguarding the interests of Pakistan and for laying a new foundation of progress and prosperity in the country," he said. He said that timely completion of the CPEC would start a new era of development and prosperity in the country.
Abdul Basit said the CPEC is now not only a game changer. It is changing the world order as many countries are wishing to be part of it. He said timely completion of the CPEC will begin a new era of development in all provinces of the country. This project will also help the country get rid of energy crisis, he added. The CPEC is truly a herald of economic development, peace and prosperity in the region, he said, adding that Pakistan believes in focusing its energies on peace and inclusiveness rather than divisive competition.
LCCI president said the Chinese investment in various fields including energy, infrastructure, Gwadar Port and special economic zones can lay the foundation of a fast-developing Pakistan if the opportunity was optimally utilized.
"We take immense pride in our relationship with China that has always remained on an ascending trajectory and now encompasses almost every sphere of our life. The lasting imprint of this brotherly partnership is visible in state-to-state, military-to-military, business-to-business and people-to-people contacts," he said.
