中巴经济走廊建设的机遇与挑战

Opportunities and challenges for the construction of China-Pakistan Economic Corridor

从中国新疆喀什出发,经中巴边境红其拉甫口岸从巴基斯坦北部进入巴国,一路穿越高山峡谷、平原丘陵、戈壁荒漠,最后到达南部的瓜达尔港,直通阿拉伯海。这条从喀什到瓜达尔港的经济大动脉,加强了中巴两国互联互通,进一步深化了中巴全天候战略合作伙伴关系,这就是2013年中巴经济走廊提出的重要战略设想。如今6年过去,走廊建设第一阶段的能源电力项目和交通基础设施项目已经完成或正在进行中,为巴基斯坦下一步的经济发展奠定了良好的基础。

Through mountains, valleys, plains, hills and Gobi Desert, a journey can be taken from Kashgar in Xinjiang, China to the Gwadar Port in the south of Pakistan to reach the Arabian Sea via Khunjerab Pass, the border between China and Pakistan. This economic artery from Kashgar to Gwadar Port has strengthened the interconnection between China and Pakistan and further enhanced the all-weather strategic partnership between China and Pakistan. This was the important strategic vision proposed during the construction of China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) in 2013.
