According to Ahsan Iqbal, the federal minister of planning and development, the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor is an example of the goodwill between China and Pakistan.
The Federal Minister stated that the Construction of the Corridor is an essential initiative for the development of the region during a CPEC ceremony in Islamabad.
Regional growth, according to Minister Ahsan Iqbal, can only occur in Afghanistan when that country is stable, and Pakistan has been housing more than 3 million Afghan refugees for many years.
In his words, the friendship between China and Pakistan is stronger than the Himalayas, and they have always respected one another.
