The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) continues to make headlines as a catalyst for regional growth, and the Pakistan-China Joint Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCJCCI) has now emphasized its transformative potential for Afghanistan. According to the PCJCCI, CPEC offers Afghanistan unique opportunities for economic development, trade expansion, and regional connectivity. With its strategic location, Afghanistan stands to benefit from improved infrastructure and access to new markets.
Boosting Regional Connectivity and Trade
Afghanistan’s participation in CPEC could unlock new avenues for commerce, allow better integration into global supply chains, and foster peace through development. The initiative not only promises better roads and rail networks but also opens doors for energy collaboration and investment. Experts believe CPEC will serve as a bridge between Central and South Asia, helping Afghanistan become a commercial hub in the region. As Pakistan and China deepen their economic partnership, Afghanistan’s inclusion could reshape the economic landscape of the entire region.
