Abstract

The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is a highly significant project that has strengthened the political and economic ties between Pakistan and China. This relationship highlights the increasing economic reliance between the two countries, promoting a cooperative alliance that goes beyond economic connections to include shared strategic goals. Nevertheless, the initiative faces obstacles such as issues about openness, ecological consequences, and geopolitical dynamics in the region. The project unquestionably represents a substantial advancement in the political and commercial ties between Pakistan and China, with the capacity to transform the economic dynamics of the entire region. This research paper analyses the historical context, fundamental components, and impact of CPEC on the bilateral relationship between the two nations. Additionally, it assesses the geopolitical consequences and challenges associated with the project, providing a comprehensive overview of its significance in the context of regional and global dynamics. The objective of this study is to improve understanding of the various aspects of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) and its significance in the broader context of global diplomacy.
