The document discusses the Pak-China Economic Corridor (CPEC) project. It outlines the history of Pakistan-China relations since 1950 and major infrastructure projects undertaken as part of CPEC, including the Gwadar Port and Karakoram Highway. The objectives of CPEC include increasing bilateral trade, providing China access to the Indian Ocean, and promoting economic development in Pakistan through investments and job creation. While CPEC offers advantages like reduced trade costs and regional stability, it also poses risks such as increasing Pakistan's economic dependence on China.
