August 5, 2021: Federal Minister for Planning Asad Umar says there should be no speculations over Pak-China relations, particularly on the China Pakistan Economic Corridor.

Talking to a private news channel he said the resignation of former CPEC Authority Chairman Asif Saleem Bajwa was his personal decision and it will have no effect on CPEC projects.

He said all the projects in the field of science and technology, agriculture and industrial sectors would be completed under public private partnership and local firms will forge joint ventures with international companies for investment in CPEC projects.

The minister said the government is also providing facilities and removing hurdles for international investors, who would ultimately contribute in Pakistan's development.
