The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), a flagship project of China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), has been bringing socio-economic development for Pakistan and improving people's livelihood, said a Pakistani official.
A host of projects under the CPEC being implemented in Pakistan have been helping the country in generating employments, promoting socio-economic benefits for the locals, and lifting the poor masses out of poverty, Chairman of the CPEC Authority Asim Saleem Bajwa told Xinhua in an interview.
Expressing satisfaction at the pace of the work on the CPEC projects, Bajwa said that CPEC has entered the second phase after the successful completion of the first, which has filled the voids of energy and communication infrastructure in the country.
