ISLAMABAD: Islamabad Chamber of Small Traders (ICST) on Sunday said that India’s increased conspiracies and opposition to Pakistan would not affect the China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) project.
India has been cause of regional destabilization and was behind frequent tensions in Pak-Afghan relations which have badly damaged the bilateral trade hitting millions of people, Patron Islamabad Chamber of Small Traders Shahid Rasheed Butt said.
India’s negative attitude has not only destabilised the strategic stability but it has also kept billions below the poverty line in the region, he added.
He was of the view that India should not link politics with economics and this policy has been resulting in deprivation of billions of people living in the SAARC region.
