Islamabad: The China-proposed Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is the harbinger of a new era of connectivity, special assistant to Pakistani Prime Minister on information and broadcasting Firdous Ashiq Awan has said.
Awan made this remark here on Tuesday at a seminar on Cross-Regional Media Fusion among the Belt and Road Partners while pointing out that the revival of the ancient Silk Road under the BRI project would bring in a new era of hope and a new dawn.
Talking about the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), a flagship project under the BRI, the official said, "With the highest level of transparency, efficiency and effectiveness, the building blocks of CPEC are being installed. CPEC is reshaping the geo-economic landscape and will usher in an era of prosperity not only for Pakistan but also for the entire region."
Speaking at the event, Pang Chunxue, minister counselor of the Chinese Embassy in Pakistan, said, "Six years since its inception, the BRI has received a strong endorsement and warm support from the international community."
