RECORDER REPORT

MULTAN: Multan Chamber of Commerce & Industry (MCCI) on Sunday welcomes the Chief of Army Staff General Qamar Bajwa’s pledge to make China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) successful.

MCCI President, Khawaja Jalaluddin Roomi, said that the government and military’s commitment to the CPEC has given a loud and clear message to the anti-Pakistan elements and has made it clear that no conspiracy against this project would be tolerated.

“Government and military deserve appreciation for safeguarding the interests of Pakistan and for laying a new foundation of progress and prosperity in the country”, the MCCI office-bearers said. He said that timely completion of CPEC will start a new era of development and prosperity in the country.

He said that CPEC is not only a game changer but also potential enough to change the world order as even the countries have expressed their willingness to be part of CPEC those just have formal relations with Pakistan.

Khawaja Jalaluddin Roomi said that timely completion of CPEC will begin a new era of development in all provinces of the country.

He said that this project will also help country get rid of the energy crisis.

He said that CPEC is truly a herald of economic development, peace and prosperity in the region, adding that unlike some other countries of South Asia, Pakistan believes in focusing its energies on peace and inclusiveness rather than divisive competition.

He was apparently referring to India which publicly opposes the multi billion-dollar project.

The MCCI office-bearers said that the Chinese investment in various fields including energy, infrastructure, Gwadar port and special economic zones, can lay the foundation of a fast-developing Pakistan if the opportunity was optimally utilised.
