Moreover, as the construction of energy and infrastructure projects under the CPEC heads towards completion, the number of Chinese traders and tourists in Pakistan is also growing at a healthy rate. The opening of new routes will enable more and more Chinese people to visit Pakistan.

Besides, Dr. Wang Zhihuai underscored the importance of CPEC for both countries. CPEC has already entered into its second phase as the construction of special economic zones is well underway. The special economic zones will provide more than 400 Chinese companies and 20,000 businessmen a central platform to undertake business activities.
