The Impact of China-Pakistan Economic Corridor on the Relations between India and Pakistan | Original Article

ABSTRACT:

China has made a large foreign investment in the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor also known as the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, as part of its One Belt, One Road plan. The alliance between China and Pakistan will strengthen as a consequence of a 46 billion investment in cooperative projects slated to be completed over the next few years. Pakistan, on the other hand, will have a greater influence on China's standing in the international community. The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) also has an impact on India-Pakistan ties. It is a territory whose sovereignty has been disputed by India and Pakistan since 1947, and Jammu and Kashmir is vital to the transportation route between Pakistan and China. As a result, from a strategic standpoint, Jammu and Kashmir are critical. This seems to point to a less-than-ideal situation in which CPEC stresses an already strained relationship between India and Pakistan. This is not a desirable circumstance. On the other side, one might imagine a more optimistic future in which the conflict in Kashmir is finally over.
