Gilgit-Baltistan - China Pakistan Economic Corridor: Implications for India
Journal Title: Review Journal of Political Philosophy - Year 2019, Vol 0, Issue 1
Abstract
China has embarked upon a colossal project called “One Belt, One Road” (OBOR) with CPEC as one of the six eco corridors envisaged. The dynamics of this strategic region are evolving again with this project. China and Pakistan have unveiled plans to create a trade corridor through Gilgit-Baltistan, linking the two countries for regional trade and commerce. These plans entail building a railway link between Kashgar and Gwadar, and develop energy and mineral resources. These developments offer unprecedented opportunities for the people of Gilgit-Baltistan, but there are risks involved. The advent of CPEC is considered economically vital to Pakistan helping it drive its economic growth. China and Pakistan intend that the massive investment plan will transform Pakistan into a regional economic hub and further boost the deepening ties between the two countries. The Pakistan media and government called the investments a “game changer” for the region. However, the same may not be true for Gilgit-Baltistan unless the local aspirations and expectations are incl and pol & eco measures are put in place to allow the fruits of this development to be enjoyed by the local populace. A positive approach may further integrate Gilgit-Baltistan with Pakistan and alienation of world community from Indian interest in region. However, a neglect of these concerns may lead to a turbulent state in the region which may lead to non completion of the CPEC and greater call for autonomy for the region.
