ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad Chamber of Small Traders on Saturday said a consensus is very important for the timely completion of the CPEC and to foil the conspiracies of hostile states against this game-changing project. The Economy Corridor will push Pak-China friendship to new heights while boosting the image, economy and defence of Pakistan, it said. The project will not only change the economic landscape of the country but it will multiply our national GDP, said Patron Islamabad Chamber of Small Traders Shahid Rasheed Butt in a statement issued here. He said conspirators are not only hurting the project but also trying to keep local and foreign investors away from the game-changing project. He said increased security and transparency will lure investors to the project and they will participate in it with full zeal. Published in Daily Times, July 23rd 2017.
