CPEC Projects

CPEC is an ongoing development mega project which aims to connect Gwadar Port of Pakistan to China’s northwestern region of Xinjiang, via a network of highways, railways, and pipelines. The economic corridor is considered central to China–Pakistan relations and will run about 2700 km from Gwadar to Kashgar.

China-Pakistan Economic Corridor and its connectivity with Central Asia, Middle East and Africa will help to shape the entire region. Overall construction costs are estimated at around $46 billion, with the entire project expected to be completed in several years.

The Corridor is an extension of China’s proposed 21st century Silk Road initiative. This is the biggest overseas investment by China announced so far and the corridor is expected to be operational within three years. The corridor will be a strategic game-changer in the region and would go a long way in making Pakistan a richer and stronger entity.

The CPEC projects, investment on the corridor will transform Pakistan into a regional economic hub. The corridor will be a confidence booster for investors and attract investment not only from China but from other parts of the world as well. Other than transportation infrastructure, the economic corridor will provide Pakistan with telecommunications and energy infrastructure.

The Ministry of Planning, Development & Reform (MPD&R) is the focal Ministry for this engagement whereas its counterpart in China is National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC).

Gwadar Port City Projects

As part of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, and by extension, that of the Silk Route Initiative, Gwadar holds pivotal importance. The port city of Gwadar is a hub of connectivity for the Corridor and an indispensable interchange for the Silk Route. Through its deep-sea port, Gwadar has helped China and Pakistan realize the goal of a 21st Century Maritime Silk Route, which will benefit not only China and Pakistan but also Central Asia by becoming the region’s key entrepôt.

The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, however, plans not to limit Gwadar to a connecting port only but enriches it as an economic hub that will cater to the local population by improving their livelihoods. Projects planned for the Gwadar Port City aim at capacitating Balochistan to its full economic, social, technical, and energy potential, and closely integrating it within the economic framework of Pakistan and China.

You guys can get some basic idea about the project in regard to transportation and energy from the following video. Just look at the newly built motor way and the power line towers along the road.

CPEC to be completed at all costs: Imran Khan

"The corridor is a manifestation of Pakistan-China friendship and the government will complete it at any cost and bring its fruit to every Pakistani," He said at a meeting on Friday held to review progress on the CPEC projects.

Terming the CPEC an excellent project for the country's socio-economic development, he said the gigantic multi-faceted initiative would guarantee a bright future for the nation.

Lauding the performance of CPEC Authority,

 

[ghazi52]

88 CPEC projects to benefit Pakistan with 2.3 million jobs:

✌19 projects are completed!
28 projects under implementation!
41 projects are in the pipeline!

 

[ghazi52]

 

[Syed1.]

The effects of CPEC are beginning to show. Give it 5 more years and even the biggest detractors will realize it.

I just wish Nawaj government had started on the ML-1 so that it would have completed by 2025. But he purposefully didn't start it because he wouldn't have been able to take credit for it at the time of completion.
