"With the completion of CPEC projects, the investments in Pakistan will reach an unprecedented level in the coming years and now it is a challenge for the country to leverage this opportunity to the fullest". This was stated by Khalid Awan, Chairman TCS Holdings, while addressing a seminar which was part of the PITF 2017 event titled, 'China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC)-an opportunity for economic transformation'.

He said that we should have a measured response to this opportunity and link it with other infrastructure development projects to bring more investment in the country. He further said, "As we all are aware that CPEC is a huge project which has the potential to not only let Pakistan increase its trade with the Middle East, but also enhance trade with European countries."
