Upgraded CPEC to Feature Five New Development Corridors


Planning Minister Ahsan Iqbal announced the initiation of five new corridors under the upgraded China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) framework.

In a recent TV interview, Minister Iqbal elaborated on the ambitious plans, starting with the 'corridor of growth,' aimed at accelerating economic development. The second corridor, dubbed the 'corridor of livelihood,' focuses on poverty alleviation.

The third corridor, named the 'corridor of innovation,' will emphasize advancements in artificial intelligence, while the fourth corridor will address environmental sustainability through the 'green economy' initiative. The fifth and final corridor, 'regional development,' aims to extend the benefits of CPEC to neighboring countries, fostering broader regional collaboration and inclusion.
