Dr. Aliya Hashmi (Economist): China Pakistan Economic Corridor is a pivotal project for future prosperity and development of Pakistan. A large number of projects under CPEC have already been completed and brining dividends to the national economy. However, it is equally important that interests of local population of Balochistan are given due consideration in allocation of jobs and resources. Sporadic attacks against work force of CPEC may not deter the strong bonds of friendship between Pakistan and China.
