KPEC is considered to play a pivotal role in boosting trade and maximising regional exports, which is likely to transform the socio-economic status of the entire province. The provincial minister said that the $400 million investment will generate 100,000 jobs for the local populace and improve local connectivity.

“The KPEC links Pakistan, Afghanistan and Central Asia for boosting regional connectivity and trade opportunities,” he remarked.
