In 2021, the one belt, one road initiative, proposed 8th anniversary, and the eighth year of the economic corridor construction of China and Pakistan. As the flagship one of the "one belt, one road initiative", the economic corridor of China Brazil was fruitful in 2021. It has made great achievements in the construction of power infrastructure, industrial park construction and livelihood projects. What are these completed and under construction China Pakistan Economic Corridor projects like? What benefits will these projects bring to China and Pakistan? Let's follow the reporter of China Central Radio and television in Pakistan to see what happened. "Mera DC transmission project" "Love and blessing of the Chinese people" There is a Lahore converter station just put into operation 40 kilometers away from Lahore, the capital of Punjab province, Pakistan. The converter station is the only transmission project under the framework of China Pakistan Economic Corridor - Mera DC transmission project. A 886km long DC transmission line will transmit the power generated by the power plant in southern Pakistan here, and then convert it into AC circuit through the converter station and transmit it to thousands of households in the north to meet the local power demand and solve the local power shortage problem. Zhang Kai, Chinese engineer of Mera DC transmission project, said that Mera DC transmission project is the transmission project with the highest voltage level, the largest transmission capacity and the farthest transmission distance in Pakistan. It is the backbone network channel of "south to north power transmission" in Pakistan. It plays a significant role in Pakistan's safe and reliable power supply, power grid technology and management upgrading, and long-distance allocation of power resources. At present, the total transmission power of Mera DC transmission project is more than 6 billion kwh, and the project loss is 3.3%. Its key performance indicators meet the specification requirements, which is the best level of similar international projects. Muhammad Sabir, senior consultant of the Mera DC transmission project, believes that the project will promote the economic development of northern Pakistan, not only contribute to the development of Pakistan's product export and manufacturing industry, but also provide direct and indirect employment opportunities for the Pakistani people. This can not only solve Pakistan's future energy crisis, but also play a very key role in Pakistan's development. Mohamed Sabir said: "this is not only a power transmission project, but also a project to transmit the love and blessing of the Chinese people in Pakistan." Power development for Pakistanis Bring cheaper energy In addition to the Mera DC transmission project, Pakistan karot hydropower station, the first hydropower investment project in the China Pakistan Economic Corridor, also made significant progress in 2021. On November 20, the diversion tunnel gate of the hydropower station was lowered to store water, laying a solid foundation for the commissioning and power generation of all units in the first half of 2022. China's Three Gorges one belt, one road power station, is invested by Callot, which has a total installed capacity of 720 thousand kilowatts and a total investment of about 1 billion 740 million US dollars. It is the priority project for energy cooperation between China and Brazil economic corridor and the first large-scale hydropower investment and construction project along the belt. After the project is completed and put into operation, it will provide Pakistan with clean energy supply with market competitiveness and meet the power demand of 5 million local people. Alan Crist, chief owner engineer of karot hydropower station, said that hydropower energy is one of the few economic and green energy that can be produced in the world. The more hydropower projects there are, the more carbon emissions can be reduced, so that cheaper energy can be developed. This project can increase employment in remote areas, and the reservoir can be used for boating and fishing. In addition, the development of electricity has brought cheaper energy to ordinary Pakistanis, which can be used to develop industry. Industry has once again promoted employment and the export of Pakistan's manufactured goods. "Benefits of China Pakistan Economic Corridor Will benefit all regions of Pakistan " Agricultural cooperation in the China Pakistan Economic Corridor has also made breakthrough progress in 2021. On November 23, the Chinese ambassador to Pakistan nongrong, on behalf of the General Administration of Customs of China and the Minister of food security and research of Pakistan, said fahar imam, officially signed the protocol on inspection and quarantine requirements for Pakistan onion export to China in Islamabad. This is the first agreement on agricultural export signed by the two countries in the second phase of the China Pakistan Economic Corridor, which marks that Pakistan's onions have obtained China's market access since then. The demonstration landmark project of capacity cooperation under the framework of China Pakistan Economic Corridor, lashakai Special Economic Zone, will enter the stage of comprehensive construction in 2021. The construction and operation of lashakai Special Economic Zone led by the project company led by China Road and Bridge Engineering Co., Ltd. will attract investors from Pakistan, China and other countries to invest and start business through one-stop service and preferential policies provided by the Pakistani government. On October 1, China assisted Gwadar vocational and technical school in Pakistan to hold a completion ceremony. The school, covering an area of more than 7500 square meters, is like a pearl on the Gobi, bringing knowledge, skills and hope to the people of Gwadar. Sher Ali ABAB, chairman of the China Pakistan Economic Corridor of the parliamentary committee of Pakistan, said: "Although the epidemic has disrupted the world's life, economy and governance, we have also made a lot of achievements. This year, some projects have been completed and many new projects have not been started. However, we have also made a lot of preparations for the start of new projects, which will be launched from the beginning of next year to the middle of next year." Former interior minister of Pakistan Current member of Parliament Ahsan Iqbal said: "The China Pakistan Economic Corridor has helped Pakistan overcome the energy crisis. It has also helped Pakistan build a modern infrastructure connecting Pakistan, China and the region. We hope this momentum will continue. We are very excited about the infrastructure and energy infrastructure laid in the China Pakistan Economic Corridor. Now we are entering the next stage of industrial cooperation. We hope that The special economic zones being established will help bring industrial investment to Pakistan. At the same time, with the cooperation in industrialization, agriculture, science and technology and poverty alleviation, the benefits of the China Pakistan economic corridor will benefit all regions of Pakistan.
