Zamir Ahmed Awan: China-Pakistan Economic Corridor: Opportunities and challenges

[Photo/Agencies] By Zamir Ahmed Awan, a senior fellow with Center for China and Globalization(CCG) China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), is under execution smoothly for the last couple of years and most of the early harvest projects have been completed or are at an advanced stage of completion. The fruits of CPEC projects will be enjoyed by Pakistan in the form of sufficient amount of electricity available almost to everyone, an improved network of roads in almost all parts of Pakistan, the growth of GDP and the country’s economic progress as compared to pre-CPEC time. However, there are some challenges. I may categorize them in largely two groups; the internals and the externals. Just like any project, there might be some deficiencies in design, planning or execution; CPEC is also not absolutely free of such possible shortcomings. Pakistan does not have any experience of undertaking such mega projects. In the history of Pakistan the total foreign direct investment was only around $40 billion, while just under CPEC, it reached to more than $20 billion within only three years. Pakistan was not prepared for such a large investment and lacked the capacity to digest it. This was a major challenge for Pakistan. Although China-Pakistan friendship is higher than mountains and deeper than Oceans, there is a lack of understanding Chinese systems, politics, culture, traditions, work ethics. To understand CPEC, it is absolutely important to understand China. There is dire need to understand Chinese culture, traditions, politics, system government, and business practices. It can be achieved by increased people-to-people contact and public diplomacy. In the past, the China-Pakistan relations were focused in the diplomatic and political arena only. But under CPEC, the nature of this relation has turned into "business and economic". This change may not have been realized by the Pakistani decision-makers yet. Business relations are profit driven and everybody wants to make it as much profit as possible. I believe, China-Pakistan relations are just like one family, and all differences can be resolved within the family easily. There is no threat of any mishandling at all. I can see the roots of our friendship are so deep, that any minor issue may not be an irritant to move forward. We are all-weather, time-tested, all-dimensions friends and stood with each other at all difficult moments with each other. The future is bright and secure for both nations. However, there are some external challenges, which are rather serious and need more cooperation between China and Pakistan. BRI is China’s mega initiative and recognized by around 100 countries and the international organizations. But some of the countries which are not happy with Chinese leading the globalization trend worldwide feel it a threat and try to sabotage CPEC through India and Afghanistan. Pakistan is a smaller country and economically not strong enough and may not be able to protect CPEC alone. We need to join hands with China and formulate a joint policy to protect CPEC. Although China has always stood with Pakistan at all difficult times throughout the history of our relations of seven decades, at this moment, while CPEC is under challenge, we need to cooperate even closer and may take up a stronger and tougher stand. We need to make this "flagship" project a success story and to show the rest of world CPEC as a "role model". The success of CPEC will guarantee the success of all other five economic corridors planned under BRI. People of Pakistan and government of Pakistan are fully committed to making CPEC a success story, we are committed to overcoming any challenges, which might come across during its execution. We need support from our Chinese brothers and sisters to stand with us at this critical moment. We share a common destiny and work together in complete harmony.

Zamir Ahmed Awan：CPEC consensus builds after Khan visit

[Photo/Xinhua] By Zamir Ahmed Awan, a senior fellow with Center for China and Globalization(CCG) Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan, with official invitation from Chinese Premier Li Keqiang, has been on a state visit to China since Nov 2. He has received warm greetings and traditional Chinese hospitality during his visit so far. Although Khan visited China before in 2011, at that time he represented his Pakistan Movement for Justice party — a much smaller entity as compared to now. This, however, was his first visit as prime minister, and his first time interacting with high-level leadership. He paid tributes to national martyrs at Tian’anmen Square, signifying their role in the success of the revolution and the emergence of modern China. He addressed the Central Party School, where he shared his own political struggles and discussed the threat of corruption in Pakistan. He traveled to Shanghai on Nov 4, and is scheduled to attend the inaugural ceremony of the first-ever China International Import Expo. By interacting with top leadership in China, he has refuted misunderstandings and confusions created by the media regarding his personality, his party PTI and his policies on the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor. The visit has helped him understand the Chinese leadership, their vision and commitment to the cause of building a future of shared destiny in the region. It has also created a great opportunity to cultivate personal relationships and understanding between leaderships. He has been able to better understand the Belt and Road Initiative and the importance of CPEC. During his visit, 15 agreements and memoranda of understanding were signed in various areas of cooperation. Both sides expressed full satisfaction on early harvest projects and reaffirmed their commitment to complete all these projects on time. Both sides agreed to further enhance the scope of CPEC to the social sector. The next phase of CPEC will be the development of Special Economic Zones. Pakistan has already identified nine potential SEZs with close consultation from Chinese experts. Labor-intensive industry will be moved to Pakistan in the near future and industrialization will help Pakistan generate employment and boost domestic productivity. It is expected Pakistan will attract Chinese entrepreneurs for an upcoming mega-project of 5 million new houses under the "Naya Pakistan Housing Project”. The housing sector will generate new jobs and demand for construction materials, consumables household items. This project and the resultant job generation was part of Khan’s party manifesto, which he is eager to fulfill by the end of his term. Talks between the two governments were very cordial and comprehensive. A consensus was developed to strengthen ties between the two countries. Political and strategic relations were bolstered and commitment on CPEC was reaffirmed by both sides. Trade, investment and financial cooperation are to be enhanced further. Sectors of science and technology have been promoted further, including marine, space, environmental and agricultural. Cooperation in a wide variety of sectors like people-to-people cultural linkages, defense, security, counter-terrorism was agreed on as well. Khan has already expressed his desire to learn from the Chinese experience in fighting against the evils of poverty and corruption. The fruit of his successful visit may be visible in the near future and depend on how well Pakistan can follow-up and pursue the agreements made during this visit. Pakistan needs to do its homework well and introduce reforms at home. Conducive policies may be introduced to enable economic development. Institutional capacities have to be enhanced to meet desired results. Investor-friendly policies have to be devised to attract more investment from China and the world at large.
