President Mamnoon Hussain has said that the completion of China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) project will transform Pakistan into a regional trade hub.

This mega project envisages not only construction of motorways but also many power plants, including nuclear, he said while addressing a ceremony of Kotri Association of Trade and Industry on Saturday.

Hussain said that corruption has adversely affected every institution of the country and now there is a need to launch collective efforts to eliminate this menace.

He urged the youth to come forward in the fight against corruption as they constitute 50 to 60 percent of the country’s population. CPEC will generate many new job opportunities for the youth, he said.

He further added that Central Asian States are also showing interest in this project.
