About the three projects, an official in the Ministry of Communication told The Express Tribune: “The reason behind bringing these projects under the CPEC is that China is already working on such projects in Pakistan; and the Pakistani government is also short of funds to invest on these mega projects.”

He continued: “In principle, these projects have been approved by the Chinese government, but a formal approval will be given in the upcoming JCC meeting which is expected to be held in Pakistan by the end of this year.”
