Caretaker Minister for Information and Broadcasting Murtaza Solangi has said China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) has achieved major milestones in successful execution of road infrastructure and power projects as well as the establishment of Special Economic Zones worth over 62 billion dollars.

Addressing an event, jointly organized by the Bahria University and the China Media Group, in Islamabad today, he said CPEC has expanded from Government to Government to Business to Business mode and is now reaching hearts and minds through enhanced people to people contacts. He said it is a very established fact that hearts and culture have deeper impact on human lives.
