He underscored that in context of Asia’s emerging role as the hub of global economics and trade, the BRI is pivotal for harnessing the growth potential of the Asian countries and giving a fresh impetus to globalisation and multilateral cooperation.
Ambassador Moin added that as the flagship project of BRI, CPEC has achieved spectacular success by developing Pakistan’s energy and infrastructure network and highlighting its potential as the geo-economics hub. He added that Pakistan and China were now establishing industrial parks and Special Economic Zones under CPEC which would deepen Pakistan’s economic and trade linkages with China and the entire region.
