Keeping in view the false narratives being created about the CPEC, we should first know that Pakistan-China relations are very strong from the day first and both countries also have very strong defense relations. Now due to CPEC, the economic relations of both countries have reached new heights. The CPEC is a very big project in which there are many projects like Special Economic Zones, Industrial Parks, infrastructure development, roads and rails upgradation, fiber optics network, Gwadar port and hospital in Gwadar city and then there are power projects based on solar energy, wind energy, coal power projects and hydro power projects and there are some technology and agriculture based projects. These projects are vital for the economy of both countries, especially Pakistan. Of course there are some elements who do not want to see China and Pakistan, as well as the whole region, happy. For example, India has already established a wing through RAW and it is well funded and its aim is to see how to sabotage CPEC. From time to time, we also see that western media outlets also give statements suggesting that the CPEC is useless or China has its own interests in it. There are many factors involved in these propagandas. There could be internal factors and elements who may want to further their own businesses.  All this propaganda aims to give a bad name to CPEC.

But with the passage of time, people will come to know about the benefits of CPEC projects. Phase 1 of the project has already been completed while its 2nd phase is near to completion and the third phase will start in coming days. This will make masses aware of the situation and then they will reject all the negative propaganda regarding CPEC. The governments and people of both Pakistan and China are fully confident and committed to CPEC and willing to extend the project beyond 2030. We need to create a counter narrative in response to the propaganda against the CPEC so people become aware of ground realities of this mega project.
