In order to expedite and to meet the schedule datelines of completion of various projects being completed under China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) framework, a group of technicians from China Gezhouba Group Corporation (CGGC) has arrived Pakistan. 

Onboard a chartered flight as many as 215 Chinese technicians have arrived Islamabad on July 13. This was the third batch of builders sent by the China’s state-owned construction enterprise for the CPEC projects, China Economic Net (CEN) reported. 

Upon the completion of quarantine, these Chinese technicians will be sent to Dasu Hydropower Project, Neelum-Jhelum Hydropower Station, Suki Kinari Hydroelectric Project and Mohmand hydroelectric project. 

Due to the impact of the COVID-19, various projects were generally facing tight deadlines. The CGGC sent these technicians to facilitate the construction and make contributions to the completion of CPEC.
