With the help of China- Pakistan Economic Corridor, roads and railways infrastructure will integrate Pakistan with the regional countries which will result in generating economic boom by integrating Pakistani markets with Central Asia, Middle East and other parts of the world. The Corridor will be a strategic game changer in the region and would go a long way in making Pakistan a richer and stronger entity. The investment on the corridor will transform Pakistan into a regional economic hub and it will be confidence booster for investors and attract investment not only from China but also from other parts of the world. Other than transportation infrastructure, the economic corridor will provide Pakistan with modern telecommunication and energy infrastructure, also.
