ISLAMABAD: Chinese investors have expressed their willingness to invest in the South Balochistan package, a government official said on Tuesday.

Briefing newsmen, Minister for Planning, Development and Special Initiatives Asad Umar said that the Chinese investors would invest over $1 billion in this project.

The South Balochistan project was 35 times bigger than the Phase-1 of the North Free Zone of Gwadar, he said, adding that Prime Minister Imran Khan had announced this historical package for Balochistan in November.
