Dr. Khalid Waleed, a research fellow at the Sustainable Development Policy Institute, highlights the transformative potential of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) in reshaping Pakistan’s future. Beyond being a series of infrastructure projects, CPEC symbolizes a fundamental shift in the region’s economic dynamics, propelling Pakistan towards a new era of development. Waleed emphasizes the challenge of blending economic growth with holistic development, especially in the context of the global shift towards green growth and sustainable practices. The second phase of CPEC aligns with these global trends, focusing on human development and sustainable practices. The success of CPEC lies in integrating economic growth with inclusive green growth, incorporating cultural, social, and environmental dimensions. Waleed outlines foundational elements of the Pakistan-China partnership, represented by alphabets from A to I, which encompass people-to-people exchanges, bankability of investment projects, climate-smart policies, diplomacy, efficiency of economy-energy-environment triad, financial governance, greening of CPEC, human development through communities, and integration for regional collaboration. The article underscores the importance of a dynamic, multifaceted, and forward-looking partnership between Pakistan and China, setting a precedent for international cooperation in the modern era. CPEC’s success depends on integrating sustainable and equitable development, aligning with global trends for long-term growth in Pakistan.
