Governor Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Faisal Karim Kundi held a meeting with Xin Han, Regional Director for Asia and Oceania of China Railway 20 Bureau Group Corporation (CR20G), at the Governor House in Islamabad to discuss cooperation in Pakistan’s infrastructure development sector.
During the meeting, both sides reviewed partnership prospects in key national infrastructure projects, including the Sukkur–Hyderabad Motorway (M-6) and the Rohri–Karachi section upgrade of Pakistan Railways.
Shoaib Ahmad, Chief Representative of CR20G in Pakistan, briefed the governor that the company had earlier completed the Lahore–Multan Motorway (M-3) project between 2016 and 2018, which was widely appreciated for its timely completion and high construction standards.
Governor Faisal Karim Kundi welcomed the delegation and lauded China’s continued support for Pakistan’s development, emphasizing the strategic importance of the China–Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). He also discussed progress on the Chashma Lift and Gravity Canal project, highlighting its potential impact on regional development.
The governor remarked that CPEC is a historic initiative that will not only strengthen Pakistan’s economy but also usher in a new era of prosperity for the people across the country, including those in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
He stressed that raising public awareness about the benefits of CPEC is essential, adding that the Government of Pakistan has made significant progress in creating a business-friendly environment and improving the ease of doing business, particularly for investors from China, Pakistan’s long-standing strategic partner.
Kundi acknowledged China’s key role in Pakistan’s economic and infrastructure development, expressing confidence that under CPEC Phase-II, the Pakistani people would directly benefit from new projects and increased regional connectivity.
