The document discusses the long-standing relationship between Pakistan and China, covering their diplomatic, economic, military, and nuclear cooperation. It notes that Pakistan was the first Muslim country to establish diplomatic relations with China in 1951. Since then, the two countries have strengthened ties across many areas and embarked on joint infrastructure projects through their China-Pakistan Economic Corridor initiative. The relationship is described as an "all-weather strategic cooperative partnership" that is mutually beneficial.
Pakistan initially pursued a policy of non-alignment during the Cold War, receiving invitations from both the US and USSR. However, Pakistan ultimately joined the US bloc due to its need for military and economic assistance, ideological alignment with Western democracy, and the US's willingness to help resolve the Kashmir dispute versus the USSR's neutral stance. While US aid provided benefits, it also damaged relations with other Muslim states and led the USSR to increase support for India. In later decades Pakistan sought to diversify its alliances, improving ties with both the USSR and China while reducing dependence on the US.
This document outlines Pakistan's changing foreign policy from 1947 to the present. It discusses Pakistan initially exploring friendship with all states after independence, then aligning with the West during the Cold War by joining security pacts like CENTO and SEATO. Pakistan's foreign policy transitioned in the 1960s-70s as it developed relationships with both the US and USSR. More recently, Pakistan has worked closely with the US as a frontline ally in the War on Terrorism while maintaining economic and diplomatic ties with other countries.
The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is a framework for infrastructure development and economic cooperation between China and Pakistan. It aims to improve connectivity between China's Xinjiang province and Pakistan's Gwadar Port through transport infrastructure, energy projects, and special economic zones. CPEC will upgrade the Karakoram Highway and construct new roads, railways, and pipelines to facilitate trade and reduce costs. It also involves developing Gwadar Port to boost trade and provide China with improved access to the Indian Ocean. CPEC is expected to significantly increase bilateral trade and investment, promote regional development and stability, and benefit other countries in the region through expanded connectivity and trade routes.

The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) Opportunities and Challenges.MWaqasAkbar3
Brief introduction about CPEC projects, opportunities from this project to both China and Pakistan, and the challenges for both countries faced by this project.
Pakistan and Iran have close cultural, religious, and economic ties dating back centuries. They share a 909 km border and have supported each other militarily and politically, including during the 1965 and 1971 Indo-Pakistani wars where Iran provided military aid to Pakistan. Economic cooperation has increased in recent decades through agreements like the Iran-Pakistan gas pipeline and preferential trade deals, though American opposition to Iran poses challenges. Defense cooperation is also an important aspect of the bilateral relationship.
Pakistan and Afghanistan have a long and complex relationship. The Durand Line border was established in 1893 but disputed by Afghanistan. Relations were initially strained but improved after visits by leaders in the 1950s. The 1965 and 1971 India-Pakistan wars saw Afghanistan support or remain neutral towards Pakistan. The Soviet invasion of 1979 threatened Pakistan's security and it supported the US-backed mujahideen. After 9/11, Pakistan had to choose between supporting the US war on terror or facing retaliation, and opted to back the US-led operation in Afghanistan. Relations have continued with high-level visits and agreements but tensions remain due to militant activity and Indian influence in Afghanistan.
The 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 investment on the corridor will transform Pakistan into a regional economic hub.
The economic corridor is considered central to China–Pakistan relations and will run about 2700 km from Gwadar to Kashghar.

China-Pakistan Economic Corridor is a framework of regional
connectivity. Through CPEC China aims to connect its eastern side through
Kashgar to the warm waters of Arabian Sea through Pakistan as it will be
shorter and safer for china to transport goods via this route than through the
china sea to the Arabian Peninsula and surrounding areas. CPEC will not only
benefit China and Pakistan but will have positive impact on Iran, Afghanistan,
India, Central Asian Republics, and the region. Through the enhancement of
geographical linkages having improved road, rail and air transportation system
with frequent and free exchanges of growth and people to people contact,
enhancing understanding through academic, cultural and regional knowledge
and culture, activity of higher volume of flow of trade and businesses, producing

Conclusion
3. Pak-China Relations
⊚ Pakistan was one of the first countries to recognize the people’s
republic of China
⊚ Both nations share a border of 592 km that runs from west east
disputed tri-point with Afghanistan to the disputed tri-point with
India (siachin)
⊚ From start to till now the relationships has blossomed into an “All-
Weather strategic cooperative partnership”
⊚ It is often said that the mutual friendship between the
neighbors is taller than Himalayas and deeper than
Arabian sea

It was over 4,000 miles long.
The Silk Road was a trade route that went from China to
Eastern Europe. It went along the northern borders of
China, India, and Persia and ended up in Eastern Europe
near today's Turkey and the Mediterranean Sea.
The Silk Road was important because it generated trade
and commerce between a number of kingdoms and
empires. This helped in exchanging ideas, culture,
inventions, and unique products to spread across much of
the settled world.
It was called the Silk Road because one of the major
products traded was silk cloth from China. People
throughout Asia and Europe prized Chinese silk for its
softness and luxury. The Chinese sold silk for thousands of
years and even the Romans called China the "land of silk".
History of Silk Roads
5. One Belt One Road
The “One Belt One Road” concept has international strategic importance. The One Belt One Road initiative covers
countries and regions with a total population of 4.4 billion and a total economic volume of US$ 21 trillion, 63 percent
and 29 percent respectively of the World’s total.
5
The “One Belt one Road” Project consists of three routes,
southern, central and northern route.
The southern corridor begins from Guangzhou, and
connects Kashgar with Pakistan at Kunjarab – a point from
where China wants to link to Gwadar port in the Arabian
Sea. It is the shortest and the most feasible option for China
to trade through Indian Ocean.
The second Chinese is the Central Corridor that starts
from Shanghai and links the country to Tashkent, Tehran
and onwards to Bandar Imam Khomeini Port of Iran on the
Persian Gulf.
The third one is the Northern Corridor that starts from
Beijing, passes through Russia, and links it to European
cities.
6. Introduction to CPEC
CPEC or simply China Pakistan Economic corridor is a multibillion-dollar project. It is an
initiative by China and the extension of the BRI- Belt and Road Initiative. CPEC is an
amalgamation of different projects. It includes Roadway projects, Railways projects, Energy
sector projects, and other areas of cooperation
It covers the total route of 3000 km in length
This corridor will be helpful in creating regional stability in South Asia. After completion of
the corridor, it will function as a primary gateway for trade between China and Africa and
the Middle East. It is expected that this corridor will help cut the 12,000 kilometer route
which Middle East oil supplies takes to reach the Chinese ports.
The short-term projects were estimated to be completed by 2017; midterm-term by 2025, and
the long-term by 2030.The overall construction costs are estimated at $46 billion.

12. Geography of CPEC in Pakistan
⊚ This project will run through most of Pakistan starting from Gwadar in
Balochistan and ending in Kashgar in south-western China, while passing
through parts of Punjab, Sindh, Balochistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
provinces and GilgitBaltistan in northern Pakistan to reach the Khunjrab
Pass and beyond to China.
12
13. Eastern route
Eastern route which starts from Gwadar
runs parallel to Makran Coastal
highway to reach Karachi. Then it
passes through the major cities of
Sindh like Hyderabad, Mir Purkhas
and Sukkar. In Punjab Multan, Faisal
Abad, Lahore to reach Rawalpindi-
Islamabad it enters in to KPK and
passes through Haripur, Abbotabad
and Mansehra districts. Then finally it
passes through Muzaffarabad of AJK
to reach Khunjrab by passing through
Gilgit Baltistan. This route is longer as
compare to Western route but it is
much safer than western route.
13
14. ⊚ Western route starts from Gwadar and passes through
Turbat, Pnajgur, Khuzdar, Kalat, Quetta, Zhob, Dera Ismail
Khan, Bannu, Kohat, Peshawar, Hassanabdal and
Abbotabad from Abbotabad the further route is the same
with eastern route.
⊚ The western route is the original route of CPEC. It is the
shortest route of 2442 km than eastern route which is more
than 3000 km. But it is a fact that western route passes
through hilly areas of KPK and Balochistan which is
difficult to travel. It is also a fact that western route is not
being constructed by the fund of CPEC. It is purely
constructed by the financial assistance of Federal
Government of Pakistan. China was not agreed on western
route of CPEC because of the security situation of KPK
and Balochistan
14
Western route
15. Central route
⊚ There was also a third route which was called Central route of CPEC. It was as
⊚ Gwadar – Turbat – Panjgur – Khuzdar – Ratodero – Kashmore – Rajanpur – Dera
Ghazi Khan – Dera Ismail Khan – Bannu – Kohat – Peshawar – Hassan Abdal –
Abbotabad and onward.

Factor
Indian
Interruption
Presence of
Chinese security
in Pakistan
Security
concerns
19. ⊚ To cope up with the mentioned concerns, China focuses on the construction of CPEC. With the CPEC project,
China will least intervene in those areas. There will be no effect on the trade of China if the conflict persists
between the states on the chokepoints or in the disputed regions.
19
Political
Grounds
US have allied
and Army bases in
the South China
Sea and the Indian
Ocean.
China is an
emerging
superpower.
China and India
want to maintain
their hegemonies
in the Asian
continent.
20. Global Political Concerns on CPEC
Malacca Dilemma
⊚ One of the main political concern for constructing the CPEC is Malacca Dilemma.
As mentioned earlier, China needs to pass through the Strait of Malacca to do trade
with other countries. It is a disputed region, Strait of Malacca consist of the disputed
Spratly Islands. There is a global tension in this strait between China, Taiwan,
Vietnam, Philippines, and America. Almost 80% of the middle east energy imports
pass through this strait.
20
21. Global Political Concerns on CPEC
American Concern
⊚ The American concern regarding CPEC is not so good. As with the help of
CPEC, Pakistan and China will be able to boost its economy. China is already
a threat to the United States, American hegemony will also be decreased
with this CPEC.
European Concern
⊚ Some of the pro-west European countries don’t support the idea of BRI and CPEC,
whereas, some countries are in favor of this project. As it will benefit them as well.
The major portion of the European trade consists of Chinese products. They can get
to the Chinese market easily. Moreover, their orders can also reach in less time
21
22. Global Political Concerns on CPEC
22
Russian interest in CPEC
Russia supports this project. As both China and Russia is a communist state, furthermore,
Russians always work against Americans. Therefore, Russia has recently shown its interest
in CPEC as well. Furthermore, Russia is also keen to invest in the energy sector of CPEC
Indian Concern
India is a threat to Pakistan since its independence. With the help of CPEC, the economy of
Pakistan will get strengthens. In addition to this, Pakistan will become a stronger country
and will be renowned in the international world. India doesn’t want this to happens.
Furthermore, the Chinese hegemony will also increase with this project. India is also not an
ally of China. To minimize the value of CPEC project india has also signed a treaty on
“Chaah bahar” project along with Afghanistan with iran but no practical work has been
started on it
23. Concluding Remarks
⊚ Some people criticized CPEC. They believe that CPEC is doing the same as
The East India Company did. On the other hand, India and the USA
criticized the grounds that this project is a debt trap and is a soft power
policy of China. But let’s see what is going to happen next but for sure we
can say if Pakistan really consider it as opportunity it could be a game
changer for our declining economy and to tackle with the above mentioned
threats Pakistan’s needs to develop strong strategic communication with
China without making any compromise on nation’s integrity and
sovereignty
