Pakistan’s Planning Minister Ahsan Iqbal called the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) a symbol of ‘enduring friendship’ between the two nations at a lively ceremony in Islamabad celebrating Chinese New Year and honoring 30 Chinese contributors to the mega-project. 🎉
💡 ‘CPEC isn’t just roads and power plants,’ Iqbal said, highlighting its role as a roadmap for regional prosperity. From energy to tech, he praised Chinese workers’ ‘relentless hustle’ in turning blueprints into reality—like upgrading Pakistan’s infrastructure with highways and smart grids. 🚀
Launched in 2013 as part of China’s Belt and Road Initiative, CPEC’s first phase boosted energy and transport. Now, Phase 2 aims to digitize industries, create jobs, and ‘supercharge’ agriculture—think AI-powered farms! 🌾📱
Chinese Ambassador Jiang Zaidong doubled down on the #CollaborationGoals, promising steady progress: ‘Together, we’re building futures.’ The event also featured viral-worthy cultural mashups—traditional dances from both nations—plus awards for top Chinese firms driving CPEC’s success. 🎭🏆
With CPEC unlocking 🔑 opportunities across Asia, this partnership proves that teamwork really does make the dream work. 🌍✨
