Challenges and opportunity for CPEC in tribal areas of Pakistan: a dive in future prospect

Abstract

The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is a game-changing project with enormous potential for the growth of tribal areas in Pakistan and the surrounding area. The advantages and disadvantages of CPEC projects in tribal areas are critically examined in this study, with an emphasis on how they will affect regional stability, independence from Western influences, socioeconomic development, and cross-border interactions. The article highlights major obstacles to project implementation as local opposition, environmental concerns, socio-economic inequities, cultural preservation, and geopolitical issues. The report offers concrete suggestions to deal with these difficulties based on extensive study and analysis. It emphasizes the value of proactive community involvement, open communication, inclusive development plans, and conflict resolution techniques. The article also emphasizes the importance of developing infrastructure, improving skills, gaining access to healthcare, promoting tourism, and effective cross-border cooperation. CPEC can act as a catalyst for long-term socioeconomic growth, regional integration, and tribal area poverty reduction by skillfully handling these opportunities and difficulties. The conclusions of this study add to the scholarly and political discussion around CPEC and provide useful information for those involved in the administration and execution of CPEC projects in Pakistani tribal regions.
