Fawad Chaudhry said CPEC had become an essential part of Pakistan’s progress and the projects under this mega plan will be given adequate security. “We want Pakistan to grow with CPEC. China has always stood by us. CPEC is a matchless plan,” he added. Minister for Inter-Provincial Coordination Dr Fehmida Mirza was also present.
