They informed the prime minister that the major infrastructure projects of Peshawar–Karachi Motorway including Sukkar-Multan, Gojra-Khanewal and Lahore-Abdul Hakim sections of the motorway were ready for groundbreaking. The meeting also reviewed the Havelian to Thakot road project and other sections of the Korakoram Highway that are being upgraded.

The meeting reviewed the progress about the Gawadar East Bay Expressway, Mughalkot-Dera Ismail Khan Road and various other road projects in Balochistan. Prime Minister Nawaz said that the completion of the road projects in Balochistan under CPEC would be a gamer changer for the region. He directed that all necessary arrangements must be completed before the inauguration so that the physical work is started right after the inauguration.
