Dr. Zahid Anwar Khan (IR Expert): CPEC is a key project for Pakistan and is part of Road and Belt Initiative of China. It has contributed a lot in first phase. Now, phase two is underway and is providing employment opportunities to more than 80,000 people. It is a great opportunity for our young people to get employed in various projects. Projects relating to telecommunication and infrastructure are already in progress and incumbent government has taken elaborate measures to further expedite these. After a little hiatus due to Covid-19 situation, government is now determined to accelerate work on Special Economic Zones that will generate employment and business opportunities for people from Pakistan.
