ISLAMABAD: The Parliamentary Committee on China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) on Wednesday called for strengthening the agriculture sector under the CPEC framework by observing that this diminishing sector has the potential source of employment for the people of the country.
The committee, chaired by Sher Ali Arbab, emphasised that Pakistan needs not to rely on China for technological transfer rather boost its capacity building. The country needs to enhance the areas of research to encourage indigenous technological innovations and modernise its agriculture sector, the meeting noted.
