Planning Minister Ahsan Iqbal has called for rejecting the narrative of elements involved in fanning anarchy and chaos in the country.  

He was addressing a ceremony in connection with the National Day of China in Islamabad on Thursday.

The Minister further said peace, consistency of policies and implementing reforms in all sectors are prerequisites for progress and development of any country and we can learn this from China.  

He stressed the need to vigorously follow the model of China in order to make profound progress in Pakistan.

Acknowledging China's role in Pakistan's national development, the Minister said China brought investment in Pakistan when no country was willing to make investment in the country.

He said a number of projects were started in the country under the banner of China Pakistan Economic Corridor.
