On 28th November 2018 Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan laid the foundation stone for the corridor near the Narowal district of Pakistan controlled Punjab. The Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi hailed the initiative as comparable to the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Virendra Sharma MP, Chair of the Indo-British APPG said: "I hope that this new, welcome initiative can be a foundation stone for a lasting peaceful friendship between India and Pakistan. Greater cooperation will hopefully bring goodwill, unity and prosperity to the region. I hope that one day soon people will be able to put aside and forget old enmities and competition and work together for the good of society. Political and religious rivalries can be forgotten and a new era will dawn.
