According to him, the BRI depends on the CPEC established in 2015. It is the largest financial project in Pakistani history. It consists of several infrastructural initiatives to raise Pakistan’s strategic and economic importance.
The project focuses on several industries, including transportation, industrial zones, energy, and infrastructure.
He noted that energy is one of Pakistan’s most pressing demands. The CPEC has assisted in solving the issue. The project includes constructing many energy projects, including coal-free power plants, hydropower plants, and wind power projects.
These energy initiatives will help lower Pakistan’s reliance on fossil fuels and provide the populace with safe, cost-effective electricity.
He further mentioned that the construction of the Gwadar Port and special economic zones (SEZs) are part of the CPEC. The SEZs are intended to promote the industrial sector and provide employment opportunities for Pakistan’s young.
The President claimed that developing the Gwadar Port would improve trade relations with other countries in the region due to its advantageous location on the Arabian Sea.
The CPEC is a win-win for both Pakistan and China. It will help China access new markets and establish a reliable and secure trading route.

President Alvi addressed Nationalism Issues
President Alvi highlighted the potential for abundance in the energy and food sectors if practical efforts are implemented. He stressed the importance of international cooperation and the need for collaborative efforts to address global concerns.
However, he said the current period of nationalism endangers global corporations and cooperation, which is a risky strategy.
President Alvi also highlighted that for the past 50 years, the world has worked to lower barriers and tear down walls to ensure a continuous supply of goods and services.
The world has been striving to become one in which all humans are equal regarding race, diversity, civilization, religion, color, and caste. All humans share the ability to feel both love and hate.
Consequently, encouraging peace diplomacy and international collaboration allows for global progress and human development.

This strategy is risky. It can cause inter-national conflict and friction. It is important to promote cooperation among nations and to advance peace diplomacy.
