ISLAMABAD: Foreign Secretary Aizaz Chaudhry has said that Pakistan will continue extending moral, diplomatic and political support to the Kashmiris, who have been resisting the Indian occupation forces, according to a statement issued here by Foreign Office.
While briefing the Senate Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs on Thursday, Chaudhry said, “India has failed to achieve its objectives through BRICS and Nuclear Suppliers Group forums due to its negative attitude.”
“India is harming itself in its enmity against Pakistan,” he added.
The secretary said some Asian and European countries have shown interest in China-Pakistan Economic Corridor. He said no power can harm the CPEC project.
“CPEC is a new concept and approach in development based on shared goals and aspirations,” he said, adding: “CPEC is not merely a strategic agreement between the two countries but the culmination of decades-long brotherhood and friendship and cooperation between Pakistan and China.
“CPEC will not only create a strong overland link between Pakistan and China but also give us the opportunity to strengthen Pakistan’s own inland transportation and logistics infrastructure. More than ten billion dollars will be spent on railway projects as well as rail infrastructure in Pakistan. Similarly, CPEC will be addressing Pakistan’s energy crisis as projects worth 35 billion dollars are envisaged in Pakistan in the energy sector,” he concluded.
