Launch of CPEC’s Orange Line Mass Transit project in Lahore
October 25,2020
Ambassador Moin-ul-Haque today attended the launch ceremony of the Orange Line Mass Transit (OLMT) project under CPEC, which was held online in Beijing and Lahore.
Speaking at the occasion, the Ambassador stated that the OLMT’s launch marked a momentous day in the annals of time-tested friendship between Pakistan and China. The project’s “successful commissioning today will open a new chapter in the development and prosperity not only of Lahore, but for all of Pakistan. A well-functioning and efficient transportation network is central to sustained socioeconomic development and prosperity,” the Ambassador said.
CPEC is a flagship of Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). Under CPEC, Pakistan’s transportation infrastructure, energy network and industrial base have been comprehensively upgraded. In the next stage, Pakistan and China would unlock the potential of these investments by focusing on industrial capacity relocation, agriculture modernization, science and technology cooperation, and technical and vocational training. Pakistan looked forward to working with friends and partners from China to make more and greater strides along the common road to prosperity, the Ambassador concluded.
