Minister for Planning and Development Ahsan Iqbal says reopening of Khunjerab border is a crucial step in resuming Pak-China bilateral trade and other activities under the CPEC.

In an interactive session in Beijing with Pakistani professionals and students residing in China, he said Pakistan and China are committed to high quality development of CPEC through its mutually reinforcing industrial, trade, health, digital and green corridors.

Ahsan Iqbal said the government is taking concrete steps to address the current economic challenges and stabilize the country's economy.

He was of the view that only exports are the panacea for tackling the economic challenges that would move the country on the path of progress.
