He said that international community was not taking serious steps to remove curfew from the occupied area. PVC Prof Dr Saleem Mazhar said that Pakistan’s atomic power, geographical position and resources had attracted attention of the world. He said that we must strengthen our ties with China further and should expedite work on China Pakistan Economic Corridor projects, which were suffering from delaying tactics.
