The document discusses the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) project. It notes that CPEC will benefit not only China and Pakistan, but also other countries in the region by improving connectivity. CPEC involves upgrading Pakistan's road, rail, and energy infrastructure at a total cost of $46 billion. It is expected to boost Pakistan's GDP by 15% and create numerous jobs.
