China happy with smooth implementation of CPEC: envoy

Author: By Muhammad Baqir

ISLAMABAD: Chinese Ambassador in Pakistan Sun Weidong on Thursday quashed the rumours of discontent on part of the Chinese government about the multi-billion dollar China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), saying that China was “satisfied with the smooth implementation on the corridor”.

“China is satisfied with the pace of implementation of the CPEC project. The corridor is under smooth implementation, and will deliver mutual benefits to both countries as well as the people of entire region,” said the envoy while talking to journalists on Thursday. The statement was crucial in the wake of a local media report, which claimed that the CPEC had been put on the backburner by the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) government with the ailment of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and accusations against his family in the Panama Papers.
