While addressing the participants of 10th National Management Course (NMC) here at the National School of Public Policy (NSPP) on Wednesday, the President said the China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) would greatly help in boosting the country's economy. He said the phases of construction and completion of the CPEC demanded the same spirit and passion which was seen after the creation of Pakistan.
He urged the participants to set their own goals to serve the public in a better way and also expressed the hope that the management courses would help improve the efficiency of the participants.

The president said Pakistan had been grappling with different challenges during the last 70 years and time had come to reap the fruits of the sacrifices rendered by the state institutions and the people.

He felicitated the participants of the NMC and hoped that the training would enable them to serve the country in a better way.
