It located at the Centre trade routes like, on the southern side of Pakistan, Indian Ocean where Arabian sea and it has Gwadar seaport and the Karachi seaport which close to the Chabahar seaport and straits of harmoz (it is world trade route that’s why China sign an agreement of CPEC with Pakistan) thus, this corridor is expected to provide huge opportunities for the Pakistan in shape of jobs, trade opportunities and superior transportation infrastructure. Such as, Pakistan can be gateways to central Asian countries because these counties are land lock which has no water body that can help in trading.
