China confident of ensuring CPEC success

Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying told reporters on Tuesday that China hopes more countries to join the project.

“I want to reiterate that CPEC is a new type of framework for the long term cooperation in various areas between China and Pakistan,” she said when asked about Pakistan’s claims.

The project is not only of positive significance for the development of the two countries but also conducive to the development of whole region, Hua said.

“We hope CPEC can receive more support and recognition of more countries and we are confident in ensuring the success of the building of CPEC with various parties including Pakistan,” she added.

Pakistan’s National Security Advisor Lt Gen (retd.) Nasser Khan Janjua on Monday accused the US of conspiring against the multi-billion economic corridor with India.
