Abstract
The economic Corridor between Pakistan and China is a great idea for increasing the cooperation between two neighboring countries and beneficial to Pakistan, China, west central and South Asia. It seems like “win win “for both partner countries; china and Pakistan, Though CPEC is to be examined through different perspective for getting to know its strategic definition and meaning. History, culture, economic and geo-politics are those indicators for judging the implication and benefits of the CPEC. Indeed the idea of this project is going to be taking off from Pakistan and going further into the world but it’s going to have quite big benefits for the region. Concept of China Pakistan economic corridor is quite pleasing. High ways from Kashgar to Gwadar will be on land along with it a railway track would be going. Deep sea port of world would be Gwadar where there would be most modern and updated airport. There will also be fiber optic line from Kashgar to Islamabad. For the purpose, Islamabad is working since 27 August 2013.Total expenditures of the project is 46 billion dollars. There is yet no dead line for the project completion but current government will try its level best to complete it in their tenure of government.$46 billion is a quite a big amount but yet it is not clear that how much of the amount would be paid by China and what responsibilities would be bear by Pakistan. It is clarified that most expenditures like energy, infrastructure and interior highways’ big chunk would be barred by Pakistan .If China supported then also it would be in shape of loan.
