ISLAMABAD (PEN) : Dr. Pascal Abb, the Senior Researcher at the Peace Research Institute Frankfurt (PRIF), said during a seminar titled ‘Impact of BRI on conflict-affected states: CPEC and Pakistan,’ organized by the Islamabad Policy Research Institute (IPRI), that CPEC is a local choice of Pakistan, and it has not been pressured into it, which is why this geo-economic initiative is full of bounties and strategic dividends. He also said that the BRI flagship project and the CPEC initiative enjoy complete consensus in Pakistan. He also added that CPEC’s success will transform the area and open up new growth opportunities in Pakistan. IPRI President Ambassador Dr. Muhammad Raza said that the game-changer CPEC came as a jiff of fresh air at a time when no one was willing to even invest $500 million in Pakistan.
