The regional and international powers, (especially China) with their mega projects have created ripples in the region, thus changing the paradigms internationally. CPEC is among one of the paradigms, which is a Comprehensive Development Framework (CDF) that involves Chinese investments of over 46 billion dollars in various sectors including; Gwadar Port, energy projects, infrastructure development, and industrial cooperation. CPEC has been rightly titled a “game changer” in terms of its promise to transform regional connectivity through shared economic development. The paper highlights various existing as well as upcoming challenges, and presents a comprehensive solution to move forward.
