China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), launched in 2015 as part of China’s Belt and Road Initiative, initially focused on roads, power generation and connectivity. Its first phase delivered major projects including highways, energy plants and the development of Gwadar Port, helping Pakistan tackle energy shortages and improve regional trade links.

In recent years, both governments have formally moved toward a “CPEC 2.0” phase aimed at diversifying the corridor’s impact into areas such as special economic zones, innovation, digital cooperation and agriculture. Second-phase discussions have highlighted Pakistan’s goal of modernizing its agricultural sector, attracting Chinese technology and investment, and boosting export potential, with high-level talks taking place between planning officials and investors in Beijing.

Agri-sector cooperation has also seen practical collaboration, with joint initiatives examining technology transfer, export protocols and value-chain development, including partnerships in livestock, mechanization and horticulture.
