China Economic Net reported (January 14) that Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan's Special Assistant on
CPEC, Khalid Mansoor, said on January 14 that the upcoming CPEC infrastructure projects are likely to
attract US $28 billion Chinese investment. Mansoor informed that a total of US $ 25 billion had already been
invested under the CPEC by China, while another US $ 28 billion were expected under the upcoming projects.
He added “The timeline for the execution of the CPEC phases spanned from 2015 to 2030, with many projects
providing benefits over a much longer period” and reminded that Pakistan turned to China for help to solve
the energy crisis, so that “we should be able to address the ever-declining economy of Pakistan, as there was
no power in the country.”
