Chinese workers arrive in Pakistan to continue the China Pakistan Economic Corridor
To ensure the timely implementation of projects under the China Pakistan Economic Corridor, a total of 131 Chinese workers arrived back to Pakistan. They belong to a Chinese construction and engineering company working on the hydropower projects in Pakistan. Previously, they went to China on New Year holidays but stayed longer due to pandemic outbreak.
Gezhouba Group, a Chinese construction and engineering company, sent 131 Chinese workers on a charter flight operated by China Southern Airlines to Pakistan in an effort to ensure projects under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) proceed, the company’s website said.
The group has several hydropower station projects in Pakistan. The 131 staff had returned to China for the New Year Holidays and had become stuck due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The group gathered from around the nation in Urumqi, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region to board the flight to Islamabad on the weekend. The workers must undergo a 14-day quarantine on arrival.
