LAHORE: The Punjab government’s 100-day plan unveiling activity has resulted in the postponement of Chief Minister Usman Buzdar’s maiden three-day trip to China that was to begin on Monday (today).

The chief minister was scheduled to visit China for holding talks with regard to the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). For the visit, the Punjab government had earlier postponed the 100-day plan unveiling event, which was scheduled for Monday (today).

The event to be held in Lahore has been rescheduled for Dec 23, and was expected to be also attended by Prime Minister Imran Khan.

When contacted, chief minister’s spokesman Dr Shahbaz Gill said the chief minister’s foreign visit had been cancelled so that he could chair the meetings to finalise the 100-day plan event.

He said the CPEC talks in China would be held as scheduled and a delegation from Islamabad would be participating in the dialogue.
