CPEC stands for?

The correct answer is China Pakistan Economic Corridor.

CPEC is a large-scale economic and infrastructure project between China and Pakistan. It stands for China Pakistan Economic Corridor. This project is a part of China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), a global development strategy to connect different countries through trade routes and infrastructure.

CPEC aims to build strong road, rail, energy, and communication networks between the two countries. The corridor starts from Kashgar in China and ends at Gwadar Port in Pakistan. The total investment in CPEC is estimated to be more than $60 billion.

The main goals of CPEC are to:
- Improve Pakistan’s transport system
- End power and electricity shortages
- Create job opportunities
- Increase trade and foreign investment

China benefits from CPEC by getting a shorter trade route to the Arabian Sea, helping it save time and cost in exporting goods. Pakistan benefits through better infrastructure, energy, and economic growth.

Projects under CPEC include highways, motorways, power plants, railway upgrades, and industrial zones. Some major power and road projects have already been completed, while others are in progress.

In short, CPEC is a game-changer for Pakistan and a symbol of deep friendship and economic cooperation between Pakistan and China.
