Abstract

The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is a strategic economic project aiming at increasing regional connectivity for economic development. The economic corridor will connect Pakistan's Gwadar port with Kashgar in Western China between 2014 and 2030 by developing a transport infrastructure network consisting of road and rail. It is not only expected to be beneficial for Pakistan and China but is also expected to have positive spillover effects on other countries by enhancing geographical connectivity.
