Planning Minister Ahsan Iqbal says some vested elements are creating misconceptions regarding implementation of CPEC between center and provinces.
Briefing newsmen in Peshawar, following meeting with Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pervez Khattak and his cabinet members regarding CPEC, Ahsan Iqbal said the agreement reached between provincial government and center about execution of CPEC projects will be implemented in letter and spirit.
He said western route is an integral part of gigantic China Pakistan Economic Corridor and not a single millimetre change had been made in this route.
He also clarified that there was no such facility which was being planned for Eastern route and would not be given to the western route.
Ahsan Iqbal said one industrial estate would be set up in each province under CPEC and no province would get any additional benefits in this regard.
Ahsan Iqbal rejected the allegations that Punjab was given preference in execution of CPEC projects and said all the provinces were getting their due share.
Regarding his meeting with Chief Minister KP, the Federal Minister said it was held in a congenial environment and expressed the hope that the concerns of KP politicians would be removed.
Earlier, talking to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Pervez Khattak, Planning Minister said work on the construction of western route of China Pakistan Economic Corridor will be carried out on fast track.
Ahsan Iqbal said the federal government will fulfil all its commitments about CPEC in the province.
He said Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif will call All Parties Conference to redress grievances of political leaders about CPEC.
Speaking on the occasion, Pervez Khattak stressed the need for early completion of roads in Chitral, Dir, Swat, Shangla and Peshawar.
