Harming Pakistan’s economic,defense, national interests PTI’s agenda: Marriyum
ISLAMABAD, Jun 07 (APP): Minister for Information and Broadcasting Marriyum Aurangzeb said on Wednesday that history was witness to the fact that no traitor, conspirator and foreign agent could befool every one with his lies, deceit and propaganda every time.
In a statement, she said that the conspiracy to block US military aid to Pakistan was part of the May 9 arsons attacks conspiracy.
The minister said that it was mission of the PTI to harm Pakistan’s economic, defense and national interests and foreign funding worth billions of rupees was done for accomplishment of this unholy mission.
She remarked that a media campaign was carried out inside and outside the country with the same foreign funded money.
“A social media network was created with foreign funding through which a campaign is being conducted against Pakistan’s constitutional and defense institutions and their leadership”, she maintained.
She said that dirty propaganda was being spread abroad against the leadership of Pakistan forces and martyrs.
The nation would never forgive the anti-Pakistan agenda and its agents as the people had recognized the difference between politics and anti-nationalism, the minister added.
The cipher drama and May 9 arson attacks were two stages of the same conspiracy, she said.
Marriyum opined that the people of Pakistan were fully aware about the propaganda against the United States in the name of cipher and begging for help from America after May 9 tragedy.
The minister stated that the strict conditions of the IMF programme signed by the Imran regime and then its violation by the PTI were part of this agenda to force Pakistan to compromise over vital national interests.
She said a puppet was installed in power to implement this systematic conspiratorial agenda.
The minister said that Imran Khan when in power stopped progress on China Pakistan Economic Corridor, compromised on Kashmir, gave shelter to terrorists and now he was on a mission to stop military aid to Pakistan.
Under this agenda, she continued, Pakistan’s close, trusted and always helpful friendly countries were offended by the previous regime, she added.
The minister said that the so-called human rights campaign in the foreign media was actually a continuation of this nefarious agenda in order to stop international aid to Pakistan and put pressure on the army.
Pakistani media delegation lauds Chinese enterprises’ sustainable development efforts
BEIJING, June 7 (APP): Chinese enterprises in Pakistan have made important contributions to local sustainable development while actively improving people’s livelihood, an eight-member delegation organized by the Chinese Consulate General in Lahore said during a recent visit to the headquarters of PKM contractor China Construction Third Engineering Bureau (CCTEB).
Xiao Hua, General Manager of CCTEB International, welcomed the Pakistani media and think tank delegation and briefed the delegation on the development of the company in Pakistan and the story of the construction of the PKM project.
He highlighted that as one of the series of activities of the open day of “Cultural Integration and Communication”, the visit and discussion of the Pakistani delegation further deepened Pakistan’s understanding of the largest infrastructure project under the framework of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).
As the head of the delegation, Lt Col (Retd) Sayed Ahmad Nadeem Qadri, Director General Operations Nawa-i- Waqt Group, pointed out that the visit presented comprehensive, three-dimensional and real Chinese enterprises to the Pakistani media. “The efforts made by CCTEB in Pakistan are conducive to the sustainable development of Pakistan. Both Chinese and Pakistani enterprises are building a green corridor for ecological protection,” he said.
Undertaken in the EPC model, the PKM Project is the largest transportation infrastructure project of CPEC and also a key project along the Belt and Road. The project starts from Sukkur, Sindh, in the south, and reaches Multan, the economic center of Punjab in the north, with a total length of 392 km and a designed speed of 120 km per hour. The project includes 100 bridges, 468 underpasses, 991 culverts, 11 interchanges, 6 pairs of service areas, 5 pairs of rest areas, and 22 toll stations.
The project now has been completed and is open to traffic. It is the highest standard motorway in Pakistan with the highest design level and the most advanced intelligent system. It adopts Chinese SBS-modified asphalt technology and is the only one with full greening along the route and strong flood resistance. The project protected the ecology by planting trees along the route, which are now growing in full vigor, forming a 392-km green gallery.
The delegation members also spoke highly of many large-scale infrastructure projects being built by Chinese enterprises in Pakistan.
They stressed that the architects of the two countries had devoted a lot of manpower, material resources and efforts to the projects. They expressed hope that more Chinese companies would work with local enterprises to promote local industries, help local villagers be employed, improve their skills and create a good work environment for them.
“The two sides can make a great contribution to Pakistan’s economic and social development by taking concrete actions to address livelihood issues such as transportation, water, healthcare and education,” they added.
