The Karakorum Highway, also known as the Friendship Highway in China, was built by the governments of Pakistan and China. It was started in 1959 and was completed and opened to the public in 1979. About 810 Pakistanis and about 200 Chinese workers lost their lives, mostly in landslides and falls, while building the highway.

The Chinese workers who died during the construction are buried in the Chinese cemetery in Gilgit. The route of the Karakorum Highway traces one of the many paths of the ancient Silk Road.

The highway, connecting the Gilgit–Baltistan region of Pakistan to the ancient Silk Road, runs approximately 1,300 km from Kashgar, a city in the Xinjiang region of China, to Abbottabad, of Pakistan.

China and Pakistan are planning to link the Karakoram Highway to the port of Gwadar in Balochistan through the Chinese-aided Gwadar-Dalbandin railway, which extends to Rawalpindi.

During a meeting held between the Chinese Consul General to Pakistan and Chairman Pakistan Gems and Jewellery Development Company (PGJDC) the possibilities of collaboration between Pakistan and China regarding the development of gems and jewellery industry were discussed. Pakistan ranks 5th in the world with regards to gemstone reserves and high-quality emeralds, ruby, sapphire, aquamarine, peridot, topaz, and tourmaline. The two sides discussed the need to use modern techniques to mine these stones.

On Monday, a meeting was held between the Chinese Consul General to Pakistan and Chairman Pakistan Gems and Jewellery Development Company (PGJDC) in the port city to discuss the possibilities of collaboration/cooperation between Pakistan and China regarding the development of gems and jewellery Industry.

According to a statement issued in this regard, Chairman PGJDC explained that the company is a public sector organisation working under the Federal Ministry of Industries and Production, Government of Pakistan. The company has now been declared as an autonomous body of the MoIP.

During the meeting, the potential of Pakistan’s gemstones industry was discussed. At present, Pakistan ranks 5th in the world with regards to gemstone reserves and high-quality emeralds, ruby, sapphire, aquamarine, peridot, topaz, and tourmaline. These gemstone treasures are highly sought around the globe and there is dire need to exploit this potential for export growth.

Different areas of collaboration were discussed during the meeting and it was stressed that Chinese investment may be brought in for setting up lapidaries and special industrial parks for cutting, polishing, faceting and carving of gemstones.
The Chinese government may also invest in the extraction of gemstones as most of the gemstones get wasted due to indiscriminate blasting which can be reduced if modern mining machinery is used for extraction.

The CPEC and Gwadar port will also play a very important role in the enhancement of trade and exports of gemstones if the gems and jewellery special industrial parks and individual lapidary units are established along the CPEC route.
During the meeting, the two sides also discussed the possibility of China and Pakistan collaborating in terms of skills development.

It was stressed upon during the meeting that the Pakistani and Chinese governments should join hands and collaborate with each other for the development of the gems and jewellery industries of both countries and learn from each others’ experiences.

During an interview with Pakistan’s daily, The Nation, Peng Zhengwu, China’s Acting Consul General said that China wants to help Pakistan’s economy through CPEC and related projects.

He apprised about the all-weather relationship between the two continuing since the establishment of their diplomatic relations. He termed BRI’s flagship project, CPEC, the backbone of the country and added that the next phase will include some upstream projects of educational, environmental, and agricultural scope and in areas of SEZ cooperation. He said there is no reason to doubt CPEC and China advocates the building of community with a shared future.



Lahore – Acting Consul General of China in Lahore Peng Zhengwu in a interview to The Nation and Nawa-i-Waqt on Wednesday said that during the past years, Pakistan and China have enjoyed stable and excellent relationship.
“We have supported each other in development, prosperity and international relations as China is growing stronger, we want to help Pakistan to be stronger as well”, he added.

CPEC, is an essential part of BRI which has been built for years and received lots of appreciation, he said. Now the backbone of a modern industrial Pakistan has grown, which includes large scale energy, transportation, ports, communication projects, he added.

The Consul General said: “Next phase of CPEC will be some upper level projects to build the fresh projects in the country, with educational, environmental, agricultural and SEZ cooperation in sight.”

“There is no reason to doubt the progress of the CPEC. Just like the building of a metro, sometimes the works are done underground and not so easily visible. CPEC has entered a stable developing period.”

He further said:”Chinese President Xi Jinping has said, only the wearer of the shoes knows whether they fit the feet or not. Nobody else in the world knows better about our history and friendship than the Chinese and Pakistani people. We struggled for today’s life and we deserve it.

China advocates the building of a human community with shared future, in which China and Pakistan relationship could be the model. We sincerely hope that more and more countries can join us in the just cause for the peace, development and prosperity of our future.”

Pakistan is a great, important and familiar country to me, he said. The Consul General said that he visited Pakistan in 2007 for the first time and 6 years later he visited Pakistan for the second time as a Press officer of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China and witnessed the launching of CPEC by Chinese Prime Minister Li Keqiang and Pakistani leaders in Islamabad. In 2018,he was posted to the Chinese Consulate General in Lahore to serve the CPEC and our bilateral relations, he stated.

It seems that he was already bonded to Pakistan and CPEC many years ago. So, sometimes life is a magic, he added.

Chinese Foreign Ministry’s Spokesperson, Lijian Zhao, during a regular briefing, clarified that CPEC energy projects should be considered as commercial investments, not a loan. So, the Pakistani government doesn’t need to pay anything.
He added that CPEC energy projects are sailing smoothly and adding tax revenues and producing very tangible, economic and social benefits. Moreover, he said that these projects would be vital to Pakistan’s national development and livelihood improvement.



BEIJING, Feb 25 (APP):A Chinese Foreign Ministry’s Spokesperson said on Wednesday that power projects under China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) did not incur debt burden on the Pakistani side because they were investment projects.

“I can say this with good authority that these energy projects are commercial investment where Chinese companies invested in Pakistan. They do not incur debt burdens on the Pakistani side because they are investment projects,” Zhao Lijian said during his regular briefing in response to a question that Pakistan had requested China to reschedule their debts to the tune of around a US$22 billion in power projects which China has funded.

“We have responded to similar questions many occasions. I don’t know how you got your specific figure,” he questioned.

The spokesperson said that for the China Pakistan Economic Corridor, there were many power and energy cooperation projects and added, “I think perhaps you are referring to loans on the energy projects. Right?”.

Zhao Lijian informed that he had worked in Pakistan for many years and he was very familiar with the energy projects and the CPEC.

“So, these loans are from Chinese companies. The Pakistani government doesn’t need to pay back anything,” he added.

The spokesperson remarked that the construction and operation of the energy projects under the CPEC are going on very well, providing steady and affordable power source and adding tax revenues and producing very tangible, economic and social benefits.

“We have every confidence that China-Pakistan energy cooperation will continue to make greater contribution to Pakistan’s national development and livelihood improvement,” he added.

According to official data, a total of 22 energy and power projects will be constructed under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, a flagship project of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) launched by Chinese President Xi Jinping.

So far, nine energy and power projects have been completed, boosting the energy needs of Pakistan.
These projects have contributed 5340 MW of electricity to the main grid, helping meet the country’s vital needs for industry, agriculture and domestic consumers.

Another eight energy projects are near completion and will pump in an additional 4470 MW of electricity to the national grid. Another five projects are in the planning and implementation phase.
 
Genetically I am 99.7% European, NOT Indo-European.
Templars who attacked me, said, "We don't need you anymore." "You will be alone in a world of robots." (don't even know what they "needed" me for). Anyways, combine what they said with what is occurring, the history of the use of diseases by certain men and what is supposedly being done to Uighur Muslims makes me wonder if everyone is going be turned into good little Chinese factory workers.
Futurama.

Yeah and its so believable that a 99.7℅ European christian/athiest/lgbtqxyz is worried about pakistani muslims, their religion and future.

A lot more on this site than just Pakistan. What happens in and to China affects my life, greatly. Same with the USA, UK, Europe, and the Middle East. There are huge numbers of threads here that have almost nothing to do with Pakistan. If the site was only about Pakistan then it wouldn't have the non-Pakistan related threads.
For example look at all the threads saying how wonderful China is. Who are the Chinese posting those threads for? Pakistanis? Are the Chinese trying to attract you to live in China? What can you offer that the Chinese don't already have millions of?
By your way of thinking if a name of something shows the people who can be there then no Pakistanis, Indians or Chinese would be in the America's, UK or Europe. Internet is a US creation. None of us would be on the internet just US citizens. Perhaps your way of thinking will win.

NOW THAT is 100% completely true! I am off in some completely skewed nut bag world. Almost like I was intentionally sent here. Not much fun. Cannot talk to anyone anymore because what they see as 12:00 I see as 3:15 (like being out of phase or something). Sorry to misunderstand you.
