CPEC helps bridge this Pakistani-Chinese couple
PESHAWAR: (DNA) – Every brick laid for the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) projects seems to bring people from the two countries closer together.
And while marriages between Chinese women and Pakistani men is not uncommon anymore, marriages amongst co-workers while working over CPEC projects is few and far between and shows how the increased interaction between people of the two countries results in blossoming of love and fostering closer ties.
Their marriage ceremony was held in the federal capital over the weekend and was attended by a host of senior diplomats and other distinguished guests, including China’s Deputy Chief of Mission Lijian Zhao.
The deputy chairperson of a Chinese construction company Bella (the senior Chinese engineer) and the chief executive officer of the same company Umer Farooq, who worked together to first build the Islamabad International Airport and are now working on building the Multan-Sukkur Motorway, tied the knot.
Umer’s father, Malik Rashid Farooq told that they long wanted his son to get married but whenever they brought up the subject, he would find ways to change the topic, pointing out that his hectic work schedule did not allow time for it.
