...Pakistan-China Trade and Economic Corridor Economic Analysis Submitted to: Dr. Mehmood Karim Qureshi Business Economics for Mathematics MBA – 2 years (Evening) Submitted by: Asad Akram Roll No. 14I – 1216 Introduction: Pakistan and Chinese governments are planning to execute a trade and economic corridor through the length of Pakistan, from Gwadar in Baluchistan to Kashgar in Xingjiang. It will be a land based transport route alternate to the conventional sea route spanning Persian Gulf to China’s coastal regions. This corridor development can prove vital to bringing Pakistan’s economy back on its feet and also helping China in increasing trade with Middle East and African Countries. More than half of the world's proven oil reserves are located in the Middle East, the top region-based supplier of crude oil to China. In 2012, China imported 5.4 million bbl/d or 56% of its daily consumption in crude oil, of which 48.1% originated from the Persian Gulf. Up till now, all of this volume has been moved by seaborne oil tankers hauling over some 10,000 nautical miles to terminals along the east and southeast coast of China. Each journey is beset with one of the world's most perilous chokepoints - the Strait of Malacca. This leaves Beijing with tough choices in guaranteeing security in energy supply, practically because nearly 60% of annual oil consumption of this emerging economic powerhouse has to be imported and is still growing. Moreover, superior naval advantage...

...Gujranwala also known as the "City of Wrestlers"it is an industrial city in Gujranwala It is the seventh-most-populous Pakistani metropolitan areas,[1] and is one of the fastest-growing cities in Pakistan. Gujranwala is 226 metres (744 ft) above sea level According to the Imperial Gazetteer of India, Gujranwala was founded by the Gurjars and renamed Khanpur by the Sansi Jatts of Amritsar who settled there; however, its old name has survived.Many historians also note that the place was named for the Gurjars who ruled the Gurjara-Pratihara.

Eastern Regions of Punjab from Multan to the Rawalpindi in north (Including region of present-day Gujranwala) remained under Rajput rule until 1193. The Delhi Sultanate and Mughal Empire later ruled the region The Punjab became predominantly Muslim, due to missionary Sufits whose dargahs dot the landscape.Gujranwala evolved as a medieval town, and Sufi missionaries converted the local Gurjar population to Islam.

...capita is a trifling $900, and is mainly due to the fact that 78% of the workforce is agricultural in nature. Only 5.7% of Afghans work in industries like mining and textiles, and another 15.7% of the Afghani work force are in the service industry. But to truly understand the Afghani people and their nation’s future economic endeavors, we must understand their past economy. In the 1930’s Afghanistan began a momentous undertaking of instituting new monetary methods unto their nation such as introducing paper money, created numerous facilities for general and higher education, and established a national bank. Unfortunately until roughly the 1950’s, Afghanistan lacked much of the necessary national infrastructure such as roads and railways to support an expansion in their industrial sectors. This factor locked them into decades of reliance on animal husbandry, agriculture and hand-made or small-scale manufacturing products. While agriculture has played a dominate role in Afghanistan’s past economy, natural resources such as natural gas and minerals have contributed significantly more to the country’s economy since roughly 1967. From the late 1960’s to the 1980’s natural gas sales accounted for over 56% of...

...FIRST INDO-PAK WAR (1947-49) The first war between the two neighbours broke out soon after their independence in 1947. Armed Pathans from the North-West Frontier Province of Pakistan entered the territory of Maharaja Hari Singh of Kashmir, who was yet undecided on the issue of accession to either India or Pakistan. Indian military help was sought by the Maharaja to fend off the invasion. Forces arrived on October 27, after the Maharaja decided on accession of Kashmir to Indian Union. Despite early successes, the Indian Army suffered a setback in December because of logistical problems. Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (Azad Kashmir) troops forced Indian army to retreat from the border areas. Following spring, the Indian side mounted another offensive to recapture some of the ground that it had lost. As the conflict escalated, the India realised the war could not be ended unless Pakistani support to occupied Kashmir forces was stopped. Accordingly, India filed a complaint against Pakistan at the United Nations on December 31, 1948, despite some opposition from within the Cabinet. In August, the UN Commission for India and Pakistan called for an end to hostilities with a truce, to be followed by a referendum for self-determination among Kashmiris. Both the parties agreed to the UN resolution. The UN Security Council eventually brought about a ceasefire between Pakistani and Indian troops on January 1, 1949. In all, 1,500 soldiers died on each side during the war, which left...

...PAKISTANI FOOD FOOD Food is any substance consumed to provide nutritional support for the body. It is usually of plant or animal origin, and contains essential nutrients, such as carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, or minerals. The substance is ingested by an organism and assimilated by the organism's cells in an effort to produce energy, maintain life, or stimulate growth. Historically, people secured food through two methods: hunting and gathering, and agriculture. Today, most of the food energy consumed by the world population is supplied by the food industry, which is operated by multinational corporations that use intensive farming and agriculture to maximize system output. FOOD SOURCES Almost all foods are of plant or animal origin. Cereal grain is a food that provides more food energy worldwide than any other type of crop. Maize, wheat, and rice - in all of their varieties - account for 87% of all grain production worldwide. Other foods not from animal or plant sources include various edible fungi, especially mushrooms. Fungi and ambient bacteria are used in the preparation of fermented and pickled foods like leavened bread, alcoholic drinks, cheese, pickles and yogurt. Inorganic substances such as soda and cream of tartar are also used to chemically alter an ingredient. PLANTS Many plants or plant parts are eaten as food. There are around 2,000 plant species which are cultivated for food, and many have several distinct cultivars. Seeds of plants are a good...

...Types of food people like in Pakistan: The Pakistani cosines are rich in oil and chillies. Unlike the Indian food, Pakistani dishes must include meat, chicken and beef, though pork is totally forbidden as per Islamic teachings. Although eating habits differ from regions to region, the mainstay of the Pakistani diet is "chapati or roti" made from flour. "Lassi" a usual drink made like a milkshake in a home made utencil from curd/yogurt and water is usually taken at lunch time, specially during the summers as it beats the effects of hard weather. It is usually customary to eat a dessert after the dinner, which mainly comprises "Kheer" (made from rice and milk) and sweetened rice "Zarda". Rice though scarcely eaten in many parts, pulla´o (lightly fried rice with vegetables) and biryani (rice with meat or vegetables and spices) are the tw very favourite dishes of rice, specially on marriages. "Mithai" a kind of sweet made of corn flour, sugar and milk is the favourite sweet for all ages Pakistanis generally eat three meals a day: breakfast, lunch, and dinner. During the evening, many families have green tea without sugar which goes along with baked/fried snacks from local bakery (or prepared at home).

...always developed along the waters. The waters have been used as trade route since long and the modern trade has further enhanced the need of trade through waters. Pakistan being a gateway to the strategically important 'Strait Of Hurmoz' in the Indian Ocean, blessed with hidden treasures and bordering two Islamic Republics, Afghanistan and Iran, has always been a centre piece for Regional Politics. The emergence of Gwadar Port as a vibrant regional economic hub has caused the regional and extra regional powers to develop strategic and infra structural development with Gwadar Port to reach the energy rich Central Asian Republics (CARs). Iran and Dubai Port World (UAE) have interests to keep Gwadar Port out of competition as it serves as a gateway to Strait of Hurmoz. Pakistan needs to be addressing all the concerns to make Gwadar as a regional energy corridor. Key Words: Strategic, Gwadar, Sea lines of communications, Caspian region, Indian ocean Geo Strategic Importance “If we see this whole region, it is like a funnel. The top of the funnel is this wide area of Central Asia and also China's western region. And this funnel gets narrowed on through Afghanistan and Pakistan and the end of this funnel is Gwadar port.

For almost 25 years following independence, it consisted of two separate regions, East and West Pakistan, but now is made up only of the western sector. Both India and Pakistan have laid claim to the Kashmir region, and this territorial dispute led to war in 1949, and again in 1965, 1971, and 1999, and remains unresolved today. Pakistan is situated in the western part of the Indian subcontinent, with Afghanistan and Iran on the west, India on the east, and the Arabian Sea on the south.
