TIL Desk/World/Islamabad/ Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan said that the Rashakai special economic zone (SEZ) to be developed under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) will change the destiny of the region by bringing in employment opportunities.
Addressing the signing ceremony of the development agreement of the Rashakai SEZ here on Monday, Khan said that poverty is being reduced in KP due to efforts of the provincial government, but despite that, employment opportunities are very limited in the province and people have to leave their families behind to find employments in other parts of the country and overseas.
“I am elated that the formation of the SEZ will enhance industrialization in the province and people will be able to find employments without having to leave their homes in the pursuit of livelihood,” he said. Talking about the CPEC’s role in regional connectivity, the Prime Minister said that with peace in Afghanistan, Pakistan will be connected to Central Asian countries that will use the multi-billion dollar project for trade, which will bring development to the entire region.
