China sees Pakistan as her longstanding and committed ally. Since the
establishment of diplomatic relations, Pakistan and China have successfully
maintained cordial ties muddling through all challenging circumstances and
serving their national interests. As Pakistan’s physiographic feature placed her at
the junction of South Asia, West Asia, Central Asia and Western China, she is
sited in a region which is strategically significant for world trade. She proposes the
shortest route to China towards Middle Eastern and European countries and plays
a vital role in transit economy. China depends a great deal on Middle Eastern
states to satiate her energy needs. Presently, Pakistan and China are agreed to build
an economic corridor; a multi-dollar’s project, China has ever invested in any
foreign country. With China Pakistan Economic Corridor and Gwadar port being
functional the shipping cost would be reduced and delivery time for China to reach
Middle East and beyond will be cut short. Integrating 2,000 km transport link
between China’s Kashgar region to Gwadar port at Pakistan close to Iran’s frontier
through physical roads and railways and oil and gas pipelines, the corridor will
increase economy and trade, improve regional integration, expand transport and
communication infrastructure and overcome energy shortage that are coupled with
potential threats and challenges.
