 CHINA PAKISTAN ECONOMIC
CORRIDOR(CPEC) MEGA PROJECT
GENERAL OVERVIEW
Diplomatic relations between Pakistan and China were setup in
1951 after Pakistan became one of the first country in the world to
officially recognize the People Republic of China. The relationship
between two countries remain closed ever since both countries
working together with each other as strong strategic alliance.
Military Relationship:
China become the largest exporter of military equipment to
Pakistan in 2016. Both countries have jointly worked in the
making of JF 17 thunder fighter aircraft, K8 Karakorum Training
Aircraft and Al-Khalid Battle Tank.
Economic Relation:
Trade between two countries has expanded at a rapid period of
time with China becoming the second largest exporter of Pakistan
as well as largest export in the year 2015-2016. The trade
between two countries in the year 2015-2016 worth more than
$12 Billion.
 Introduction
Also known as CPEC) is an economic
corridor comprising a collection of projects
currently under construction at a cost of
$55 billion. CPEC aims to facilitate trade
along an overland route that
connects Kashgar and Gwadar, through the
construction of a network of highways,
railways, and pipelines.
 Introduction Continued
China-Pakistan Economic Corridor is a framework of
regional connectivity. CPEC will not only benefit China
and Pakistan but will have positive impact on Iran,
Afghanistan, India, Central Asian Republic, and the
region.

China Pakistan Economic Corridor is journey towards

economic regionalization in the globalized world. It
founded peace, development, and win-win model for all
of them.

China Pakistan Economic Corridor is hope of better

region of the future with peace, development and growth
of economy.
 HISTORY OF GWADAR

Pakistan identified Gwadar as a port site as far

back as 1954 when Gwadar was still under Omani
rule
After four years of negotiations, Pakistan
purchased the Gwadar enclave from Oman for $3
million on 8 September 1958 and Gwadar officially
became part of Pakistan on 8 December 1958,
after 200 years of Omani rule
At the time, Gwadar was a small and
underdeveloped fishing village with a population of
a few thousand
 Cont.

Doing little business as a commercial port Pakistan

handed over the project of upgrading the port to
Chinese company

China was awarded this multi- billion dollars

contract in February 2013

Port will remain the property of Pakistan but would

be operated by the state-run Chinese firm China
Overseas Port Holding Company (COPHC)
 Implementation Strategy
Implementation of the projects under
the PCEC has been divided into three
phases
Short-term projects are estimated to be
completed by 2017
Medium-term by 2025
Long-term by 2030

tons) to Dubais Jabal Ali Port where it has been
exported to different countries
BENEFITS OF EXPANSION OF GWADAR PORT
As an important route for oil tankers bound for Japan
and other countries out of the Gulf, the outflow of
goods from Western China and Central Asia reaching
Gwadar will pass through this overland trade route,
Pakistan can earn millions of dollars a year in terms of
cargo handling charges and also as freight charges for
import cargoes and export goods.

protection of 8,100 Chinese workers
 Allegations of Indian subversion against
(CPEC)
In March 2016, Pakistan announced that it had arrested a
suspected spy from India's Research and Analysis
Wing, Kulbhushan Yadav, who Pakistan accused of entering
Pakistan from Iran specifically to destabilize regions in
Pakistan's Balochistan province in order to hinder
implementation of CPEC projects.
Pakistan's Chief of Army Staff General Raheel Sharif in April
2016 accused India's Research and Analysis Wing of
destabilizing Pakistan in an attempt to disrupt and confound
implementation of various CPEC projects.
Pakistan's Secretary of Defense Lieutenant General Alam
Khattak stated in April 2016 that the arrest of Kulbhushan
Yadav indicated Indian interference in CPEC.
 Benefits of CPEC
Infrastructure buildup including roads and railway track up
gradation.
Job opportunities for all Pakistan.
Very huge international investment
Economic empowerment to poor and backward areas like
Baluchistan, FATA and north Sind, Gilgitbaltistan, North-
West China regions including Xinjiang.
Joint research activities in various areas of life and
technology
Great opportunities for local and foreign investors in
region like Iran and Gulf countries
Increase demand of education, security and health will
provide better lifestyle accurse the corridor.
 Conclusion
The China-Pakistan economic corridor will be the game
changer for the Pakistan. It is our duty to support this
corridor and encourage those who have low in power and
facilities like Baluchistan, FATA and Sind. Planners
should improve the map by delivering and connecting
more to needy and also encourage most populated and
existing industrial zone. Government should stretch its
planning and increase the number of stakeholders for
CPEC to get maximum juice of this joint step of Pakistan
and China governments. Long live Pak-China friendship.
