The Pak-China Economic Corridor (PCEC) is a collection of infrastructure projects between Pakistan and China aimed at improving connectivity and cooperation. Key projects include upgrading the Gwadar Port, which China will operate for 40 years, and constructing roads like the Karachi-Lahore Motorway. The projects will improve Pakistan's economy by increasing trade, investment, and addressing energy shortages. Analysts believe the corridor will strengthen Pakistan-China relations while giving China access to the Indian Ocean and benefitting Pakistan through jobs and business opportunities.

15. According to business analyst
“ The move represents a shift toward greater economic
cooperation between Pakistan and China, which have long had close
security ties amid common disputes with neighboring India. The
corridor would give China access to the Indian Ocean and lead to
investments that would help ease power shortages that are hindering
economic growth in Pakistan. ”
Bloomberg Business on April 1, 2015.
“ The main consultant firm of the Gwadar development phases,
low-cost land and labor are available, there is proximity to oil and gas
resources and Gulf countries, there are some agricultural and mineral
resources, while there could be tax-free status for investments and
trade. The Gwadar Port is expected to generate billions of dollars in
revenues and create at least two million jobs. “
