He said the PTI government has showed its commitment to speed up the projects under CPEC.<\/p>\n

So far 17 mega projects have been completed at a cost of US$13 billion while 21 more projects of $21 billion are in the pipeline. Besides, he said the 26 projects valuing $28 billion of strategic nature are also in planning stage.<\/p>\n
