Once CPEC becomes operational and money starts rolling in, I'm positive both Pakistan and China would pour in more resources to develop the remaining holdouts or the last miles. I would absolutely love to travel through the Northern Areas of Pakistan and into Kashgar and beyond on a rail. One day for sure.

My problem is how to endure the safety of the Kashagar to Karachi train route? Along the line there are many terrorist groups.

Interesting picture.

Looks like CPEC has brought Pakistan Army and China closer than ever. Frontier Works Organization (FWO) is military's engineering and construction arm.

An average increase of 2.5-3%/year in total GDP of $270 billion will be caused by CPEC. Now calculate yourself.
Some say its approx. $5 billion per year.

Brother the TTP militancy is virtually finished. Pakistan in the last five years has killed 30,000 terrorists and now they have no launch pad in Pakistan. We need to make sure Afghanistan is stabilized and pro-Pakistan/China. The Taliban are gaining power...they now control 40% of the country and are attacking our enemies. ISI did another smart move about two months ago. We allowed Gulbuddin Hekmatyar to do a peace deal with the Kabul Government which means we have a voice hidden in their parliament. Since Gulbuddin Hekmatyar comes from a more powerful Pashtun family than either Ghani and Karzai the majority of the Pashtun vote will come to him. Another terrorists group is the BLA which is also supported by India. At the moment they are surrendering in the hundreds and the Army must do a full scale operation in the area. They come from Afghanistan...to fight this problem the Army will fence the Afghan border and mine the entire area. All of these attacks have India's support brother....three months ago we captured the head spy leader Colonel Kulbhushan Yadav in Baluchistan. In the areas of FATA life has returned to normal and the army is building cantonments and new projects for the people. Pakistan and China will succeed brother.

I don't understand the financial benefit for pakistan in this. Chinese goods reaching pakistan with 50% reduction in logistics cost will mean nothing for Pakistan unless the goods shipped will now be sold at a price lower than earlier. What did I miss?

I dont think commodities are for Pakistan but the world market

You are right to the some extent that in the same contexts, we have been hearing about blasts alongside railway tracks in past and the same pattern was not just to score the kills as mostly track was damaged in neutral times which indicates the rivals plan about sending a message connect to this subject as well but the things is, security situation is getting better and we can see that things are progressing further. Strict measures and steps in respect of security, are taken and also there are many strategies to curb the such threat which will help ensure the security and safety of trade as well as people.

For the moment, the active track is starting from Havelian to Karachi which is pretty much secured though as soon as the rest of the route link is completed, the security measures will be taken into consideration as well along the completion of project.

Masha'Allah, it's like there's a new Eid every month in Pakistan at the moment.

I'm really, really impressed at the speed China moves, develops and grows.

I'm also very thankful to the Chinese people for their support for Pakistan.
