ISLAMABAD: The caretaker minister for information and broadcasting Murtaza Solangi on Monday said that China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) achieved major milestones in successful execution of road infrastructure and power projects as well as establishment of Special Economic Zones worth over $62 billion.
