Developments are being made on a daily basis and both governments are confident in completing the project well on time. Ambassador told the forum. He added that both the governments have also prioritized the development schemes for the CPEC labeling them under ‘actively promoted projects’. His informed arguments thus added weight to the claims of possible success of “Early Harvest” by the Pakistani government.

Audience learnt that the changes brought to the priority list include upgrade of the Hubco coal-fired power plant and Oracle power project. However, it was learnt that the Rahim Yar Khan projected has been downgraded by a few notches.

Iran’s deep interest in CPEC was recently obvious by the presence of both the Iranian foreign minister, Jawad Zarif, and Iran’s president, Hasan Rouhani, the ECO summit in Islamabad. CPEC thus definitely holds the magic of regional connectivity

On a question concerning the connection of Iran’s Chabahar port to the Gwadar port in Pakistan, the Chinese ambassador asserted that other countries, in the region, could also benefit by the completion of the CPEC. Ports and Shipping Minister Hasil Bizenjo, who was also present at the forum, then added in his address that Pakistan had already proposed a 85 km road which would connect the two ports to one another.
