ISLAMABAD: Working on four special economic zones (SEZs) of nine envisaged under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) has been fast-tracked, Asim Bajwa, chairman of CPEC Authority said.
Bajwa said 37 SEZs were planned under CPEC of which nine were prioritised and four had been fast tracked. He also noted the ground-breaking ceremony of Gwadar free zone by the Prime Minister last week as an important milestone, whereby 2,220-acre land was allocated for development projects as part of CPEC.
Bajwa was addressing a webinar. Ying Xiong, director general of National Development and Reform Commission emphasised significance of the high demonstration project for the region, in general, and for the bilateral ties between the two countries, in particular.
