The Foreign Office of Pakistan has expressed the confidence that Pakistan would be able to complete the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) projects in time.
Although life has come to a standstill in most of the countries of the world leading to closure of industries and immediate discontinuation of imports/exports still Foreign Office spokesperson Aisha Farooqui has assured the media that this will not affect the projects under CPEC.
While responding to media queries sent to her via e-mail for the weekly media briefing due to Covid-19 outbreak, said that the CPEC comprises long-term projects whose completion, in many cases, was spread over years.
“We are quite confident that we will be able to complete the CPEC projects in time, and going forward, the short-term impact by the spread of Covid-19 will be counterbalanced by effective and swift mobilisation of resources for timely completion of the CPEC,” she said.
