Pakistan and China have recently agreed to prioritize the much-anticipated major ML-1 railway up-gradation project as part of the China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).
The agreement was made during a virtual conference between the CPEC Authority and China’s National Development and Reforms Commission (NDRC) to follow up on the Prime Minister’s recent visit to China.
The meeting was co-chaired by Special Assistant to Prime Minister (SAPM) for CPEC Affairs Khalid Mansoor and Director General NDRC. Moreover, the Pakistani Ambassador to China was also present.
Further, the meeting decided that Pakistan Railways will approach the National Railway Administration (NEA) to work out the project’s final details.
