Renowned Pakistani American scholar Dr Zulfiqar A. Kazmi has said that mega project of China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) will open new vistas of development, prosperity and connectivity not only in Pakistan but also in the region. In an interview with Business Recorder on Friday he added that this mega project will not only benefited China and Pakistan but will have positive impact on regional development and Pakistani American Community is keenly interested for a reasonable progress of CPEC project.

Emphasizing the need of motivation to create awareness about the CPEC project and safe environment with wealth security among the Overseas and Pakistani American to ensure handsome investment in the project; he said that hopefully Pakistan will surely move forward with solid ground of economic principles. Pakistan's economic development and role of Pakistani American is most significant; and believe that people of Pakistan are most important asset no matter they live here or abroad he said.

Kazmi said that last year, Pakistanis living and working abroad sent home US 18 billion dollars to support their families and which was the equivalent of 6.5 percent of the country's GDP and the largest source of foreign income after exports. These factors can help Pakistan become economically resilient and Pakistan needs to offer sincerely some more incentives, relaxations and tax exemptions for a certain period to invest their money in safe, sound and profitable environment to Overseas and Pakistani Americans he said.

Dr Kazmi said that it is heartening to note that Pakistan was making adequate efforts to restore peace with the support of armed forces and we should profoundly acknowledge and appreciate. War against terrorism Pakistan is at front line as a result of which people of Pakistan had faced miseries and sacrificed tremendously he said.

Dr Kazmi further added that indeed Pakistan suffered more than any nation in the past for world peace and Pakistan was playing its tremendous role in war against terrorism. Culture is a real identity of any nation and US may help Pakistan to promote its art, film and culture in America. Dr Kazmi said that we have amazing potential to offer to world cinema and I am sure that Maira Khan, Ahsan Khan, Noor Naghmi and stars like Reema Khan are ready to take off.
