Minister for Planning, Development and Reform, Prof. Ahsan Iqbal on Thursday said China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) would create huge opportunities for the people of the two countries and would transform the region into a hub of peace and prosperity.
‘We want to build a peaceful and prosperous society to improve quality of lives of billions living in the region and to connect them with global market,” he said while addressing a launching ceremony of CPEC quarterly magazine and website by Centre for Excellence, CPEC here.
Ahsan Iqbal said CPEC, Centre for Excellence was taking knowledge based steps and it would become a source of propagating research.
“It will integrate and coordinate the institutions engaged in implementing CPEC by ensuring excellent research, utilizing modern
techniques to help us in policy making and achieving our goals of sustainable growth and development”, Ahsan Iqbal said.
He said the center was aimed at research in six key areas of CPEC including socio-economic impact of the project, the trade and industry cooperation, regional connectivity, financial integration, urban development and job opportunities created by the project.

Pakistani enterprises”.
