Importance of CPEC| Jobs in CPEC
The first part of his article was about Gwadar and its importance. Understand that by 2045, Gwadar will be the largest port in the world with more than 100 berths (platforms) and the largest cargo or military ship can dock at this port. Cargo weighing 400 million tons per year will be handled efficiently.
Compare this with the fact that Dubai's Jabal
Ali port is currently the ninth largest port in the world, in terms of cargo
handling, that is, 15 million tons of annual port passes through the port,
whether in the form of containers or goods. There are 35 platforms in the form
of a port. The world's ninth largest port, Jabal Ali, is located at a distance
of about 8,850 km from Gwadar.
They are afraid of the future of Gwadar. Trade competition is so fierce
that those who hinder Gwadar's development include the heads or governments of
all the surrounding ports. As I wrote in the first installment of this article,
CPEC is a modern model of the ancient Silk Road, which will also include the
highly developed port of Gwadar.
Passing through, the last bard of
Pakistan reaches Sust. The village of Soost is located in Nagar district of
Hunza state. Just as the Indian border begins after the Wagah border, so does
the Chinese border town of Tashgargan. Sloth is the world's highest dry port,
with nearly ً 8 billion worth of commercial goods passing
through both sides of the border.
The Khanjarab Valley road from Gilgit to Soost is being widened and
developed. The Karakoram Highway is being connected to Gwadar by two routes. Eastern
Route which will join Karachi-Gwadar Highway via Islamabad, Lahore, Multan,
Hyderabad. The western route of this highway will join Gwadar via Dera Ismail
Khan, Zhob, Qila Saifullah, Kuchlak, Quetta, Mustang, Kalat, Sariab and Turbat.
The plan to lay a railway line on
the same highway was mooted in 2009 and was approved in 2015. In the first
phase, the railway line will be laid at a distance of 850 km from Havelian to
the border of China and Pakistan. The part beyond the Pakistani border is 450
km which goes to Kashgar. Just as the creation of Pakistan was the first
achievement and a gift to the people of the region, so the completed CPEC
project is the second gift to the people of Pakistan.
The project will create at least 70,000 new jobs. Services such as bus
stops, workshops, overnight hotels, hospitals and entertainment venues will be
built around these highways. Similarly, there will be rest rooms at railway
stations where food will also be provided. Small towns will settle in the vicinity
of these highways and railway lines. One of CPEC's projects is uninterrupted
power supply, so new cities will be brighter and equipped with modern
amenities. We will have schools and colleges for future generations, and the
promotion of education will also remove the rust of prejudice that has plagued
our minds for centuries.
The foundation of the CPEC
project was consciously laid in 1954 when Muhammad Ali Bogra, a resident of
East Pakistan, the Prime Minister of Pakistan, intended to buy the barren peninsula
of Gwadar, which four years later became a civilian Prime Minister Feroz Khan
Noon. Completed it by paying 3 million
to the Muscat government in 1958, and then a civilian woman, Prime Minister
Benazir Bhutto, not only visited it for the first time in 1993, but decided to
develop Gwadar as an alternative port to Karachi and Port Qasim. To be given We
cannot forget General Pervez Musharraf who started the first phase of CPEC
project in 2002 during his tenure with national resources and completed it in
2006 at a cost of 29 290 million. All these people are benefactors of Pakistan
because today's media Did not even try to know the past of CPEC. Our media,
especially visual media, is only interested in holding discussions.
They rarely like to talk about
"dry" issues like national development because it is a question of
rating. For example, about the western part of CPEC. We have to see who is
angry with the road network between China and Pakistan but is against us. Some
countries are our enemies in public and some countries which are apparently our
friends are also working against our interests internally. Are This is a
critical time. Let CPEC be apolitical. Don't make it as controversial as Kala
Bagh Dam. Representatives of the enemy are also our own citizens who, for one
reason or another, keep trying to thwart this plan. The enemies of Pakistan
will never tolerate that our country is a prosperous country and our people do
not have to work in the Arab countries at the cost of their dignity. We must
not forget that we no longer have a monopoly on China's friendship.
Forty years ago today, China's relations with various
countries were bilateral. But now that China knows that any of its political or
economic moves can shake the world, China's relations are now based on
multi-lateralism. Although China desperately needs us, if our ignorant
politicians make CPEC controversial, China can give CEAF status to Afghanistan
without a minute's delay. This is the wish of our internal and external
opponents that the people of Pakistan be disturbed by the lack of basic
amenities. In the same way, in Dubai, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Muscat, keep
working as slaves of the Arabs, work as laborers and be in the circle of dal
roti at all times. Pakistan's nuclear program catches the eye of enemies. They
always want to see us as a debtor and troubled nation.
Benefits of CPEC
China and Pakistan are bound to
benefit from CPEC, but other countries will also benefit indirectly from this
highway, as Chinese goods will be sold to the Middle East and Africa when they
cover a distance of 3,000 km from Karakoram and Gwadar. If so, it will be even
cheaper, as Chinese merchant ships currently travel 15,000 kilometers by sea to
reach Africa and the Middle East. The port of Gwadar will be able to handle
15-12 ships at a time.
This is also a big deal. Nearby
ports cannot handle more than 4-3 cargoes at a time, forcing ships to wait
their turn on the high seas for weeks. As a result, the non-production costs of
these ships continue to rise until they dock at the port and start unloading
their cargo. It is a polite and humble request to our politicians to let the
CPEC project run for their own selfish interests. Help the current government
because the survival of this government is also linked to the success of CPEC.
Our defense forces are also working hard for the success of CPEC. CPEC is a
project for which, according to our TV anchors, the civilian government and the
Pakistan Army are on the same page.
