The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is not a threat to British interests, said British High Commissioner to Pakistan Christian Turner. “I am always very clear about CPEC.

I don’t regard it as a threat to British interests,” said the envoy during an interview with The Express Tribune. He said that if investments under CPEC were done in a way that benefitted Pakistan it would be good for the business environment.

“If the CPEC investments are done in the right way in the benefit of Pakistan, there are good labour and environmental standards, transfer of knowledge and skill and projects don’t put too much debt,” he said. The high commissioner added that the deals should be beneficial for Pakistan, China and for partners like UK as well who are interested in taking part in some projects in the Special Economic Zones (SEZs).
