"As the CPEC projects between China and Pakistan have focused on major infrastructure, more small but beautiful projects would boost income and increase employment opportunities for the people.
The enhancement of geographical linkages through improved road, rail, and air transportation systems will enhance frequent people-to-people contact, enhance understanding through academic and cultural linkages. The higher volume of trade and business will result in integrated development to promote harmony and sustainable development.
