PML-N Senator Lt. Gen. (R) Abdul Qayyum has said that security of China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is important for both Pakistan and China as the project will bring stability and development to the whole region.
Talking to a private news channel, he said that CPEC was imperative for the development of Pakistan and this would benefit the whole region.

He said the corridor would shorten the distances between the linked countries and would benefit the Western part of China.
Even India and Afghanistan would also get benefits from this project, he added.
The Senator said that China and Pakistan had had deep ties adding since the inception of Pakistan, the relations between the two neighboring countries had been going strong.
