(UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 03rd Feb, 2017 ) Lane motorway from Karachi to Peshawar by 2019, boosting the national economy and generating millions of new jobs. Prime Minister Sharif said it was vital to make the communications links across the country better to help take the country forward as the pace of development cannot reach remote areas of the country without a good quality road network.
He said over 60 per cent work on the project was completed, while work was going on the remaining sections, including the service roads, interchanges and other infrastructure. The Prime Minister said people of Pakistan were now witnessing the real creation of new Pakistan and said it was nothing but fulfillment of all the promises made by him in 2013.
He said three years back he came into power with a commitment and zeal to turn around the national economy. Prime Minister Sharif said in 2013 the country was in dire straits, with infrastructure in shambles and a deteriorated economy.
He said it was vital to turn around the economy to provide new employment opportunities to the youth, who are at the risk of being used by extremist elements.
He said international financial organisations have spoken in unison about the remarkable turnaround, the Karachi Stock Exchange had amazed the world.
He said only those country's that made progress which had a sound communications infrastructure. He said Pakistan too would have been at the top, had the pace of progress not been hindered in 1999.
Prime Minister Sharif said thousands were today getting jobs on projects related to China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), while their number would multiply once the project completes. Prime Minister appreciated Lt Gen Muhammad Afzal, DG Frontier Works Organization and the NHA for their hard work and completion of the assigned tasks earlier than the stipulated time.
He said he had an aerial view of the completed section and said it was at par with any international road.
