India should ‘shun enmity’ and join CPEC: Pakistani General

Lieutenant General Aamir Riaz, Commander of the Southern Command which  is based in Quetta, on Tuesday said this while speaking at an award distribution ceremony at the Balochistan Frontier Corps (FC) headquarters. India should ‘shun enmity’ with Pakistan and join the USD 46-billion CPEC along with Iran, Afghanistan and other Central Asian countries and enjoy its benefits, the Express Tribune quoted him as saying. 

“India should share the fruits of future development by shelving the anti-Pakistan activities and subversion,” LG Aamir Riaz said. 

The USD 46 billion CPEC aims to connect China’s western parts with the Arabian sea through Balochistan’s strategic Gwadar port. India has already expressed concern over the project that also passes through Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).
