ISLAMABAD - Interior Minister Ahsan Iqbal says CPEC is a corridor of geo economic goals for better future of the people instead of geo political confrontation.

He was addressing a two-day conference in Islamabad on Tuesday.

The Minister said the CPEC will bring inclusive development in the country by ensuring extensive networks for inter connectivity and beefing up energy and infrastructure development.

He said Pakistan being at the heart of South and Central Asia, can transform into regional hub of trade activity.

Ahsan Iqbal said CPEC is a corridor of cooperation and opportunity which will benefit the whole region.

He said countries and regions with better socio-economic indicators are less prone to conflicts.   

Addressing the ceremony Chinese ambassador to Pakistan Sun Wei Dong said CPEC is an idea of forging partnerships and friendships.
