ISLAMABAD: Members of the Special Senate Com­mittee on the China-Pakis­tan Economic Corridor (CPEC) expressed dissatisfaction over a briefing by Minister for Planning, Dev­elopment and Reforms Ahsan Iqbal about the project.

At a meeting held here on Thursday, the minister briefed the members about the project. But, the members remai­ned unimpressed with what they called limited details presented by the minister and called for a comprehensive briefing in the next meeting.

Chairman of the committee Senator Taj Haider said that under-developed areas should be given priority in the project for their economic development.

The minister reiterated that Balochistan would be major beneficiary of the CPEC.
