KARACHI: The Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce & Industry (FPCCI) emphasised on the need for China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) project’s benefits to also be provided to the deprived districts of Balochistan and southern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
The FPCCI said that the opening up and integration of these districts with the unified national market of goods and services would make their fisheries, mining, livestock, horticulture and other activities economically feasible. They added that this would result in the creation of incomes and jobs, helping lift the deprived people out of poverty.
Talking to media on Monday, FPCCI Chairman Regional Standing Committee on Horticulture Exports, Ahmad Jawad said by playing a more active role in maximising benefits to the people of deprived districts and containing avoidable costs, the government would be able to allay a lot of misapprehensions and doubts.
