China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), the $ 46 B deal Chinese gift to Pakistan, was formally conceived in May 2013, when China President Premier Li Keung officially visited in Pakistan on May 22-23 and had signed a memorandum on the CPEC on July 5, 2013.
The CPEC is a 3,218-Km network of roads, railways and oil from Gwadar Port to Kashgar China’s city. Through this project, China can trade with the half of the world countries that will make Chinese economy stronger and will also make the passive effect on Pakistan economy.
The main package of this mega project basically falls into two parts: transport and energy.
If all goes well and on a schedule of 21 agreements on energy- including gas, coal, and solar energy. This project would provide up to 6,400 MV of energy altogether. It will reduce the shortfall of 4,500 MV.
With the CPEC, there is hope the route will open business opportunities for the traders. It opens a new door of cooperation in the agriculture sector which would help in the transfer of energy pertaining to agrochemical, pesticides, seeds, and fertilizers. Moreover, the CPEC, some belief will boost up tourism in 73000 Sq-Km regions.

Some expert opines this initiative can bring greater cohesion in South Asia, one of the world’s least economically integrated regions. Pakistan has gone in profit for the first time. The energy crisis is being tackled earnestly. Keeping strategic parity with India has now become an achievable goal for Pakistan.
