BEIJING: A spokesperson of the Chinese Foreign office Hua Chunying has dispelled the impression of over-charging on construction of CPEC’s related infrastructure projects in Pakistan, stating that all was being done through an open and transparent manner.
“We mentioned many times that CPEC is a cooperation framework established based upon the long-term interests of the two countries,” Hua said while replying to a question at regular press briefing.
The spokesperson said “CPEC is a new cooperation framework established by China and Pakistan for long-term growth. Guided by the principle of extensive consultation, joint contribution and shared benefits, the CPEC is built in an open and transparent way with reference to international practices.
It is carried out in a market-based manner with enterprises as the main players. “We believe that the CPEC will contribute to the common growth of China and Pakistan, and inter-connectivity and prosperity of the region as well”, said the spokesperson.
