    Pakistan faces internal and external challenges in completing the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) on time. Internally, Pakistan has a lack of law and order, an unstable political system with power shifting between civilian and military leaders, and a lack of transparency around CPEC that creates political skepticism. Externally, CPEC is seen as a threat by countries like the US, India, and Western nations who oppose China's influence. India funds terrorist groups in Pakistan to sabotage CPEC and has started developing Iran's Chabahar port as an alternative to CPEC. Overcoming these challenges is important for Pakistan to realize CPEC's economic and development benefits.

    CHALLENGES IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF CPEC:

    CPEC which is regarded as the heart of one belt one road initiative. It is suppose that this project
    will uplift the economic and development programs in Pakistan and will help to boost its
    economy and consequently will help Pakistan come out of the present economic crises as well.
    The development projects will improves industries in Pakistan, energy and priotising transport
    infrastructure. So for Pakistan this project is very important and needs to be completed on time
    but unfortunately Pakistan is facing some internal and external hurdles in accomplishing this
    project.

    INTERNAL HARDLES- First of all there is a lack of law of order in Pakistan and also there is
    unstable political system in Pakistan that is power oscillates between military and civilian
    leaders as we have witness none of the civilian leaders hardly completed their tenure 2008 was
    the latest period to the end of military rule with resignation of General Pervez Musharraf as
    President and we have witnessed from that onward military has been pushed from center stage
    in 2013 PPP lost from PMLN and the judiciary involvement by that time topple the elected PM
    Nawaz Sharif. And when new government came the talks and progress of CPEC hibernated for at
    least 6 months so the political structure in Pakistan delays this project. Also the no transparency
    policy on CPEC raises political skepticism because Chinese president doesn’t want to make
    information public regarding project this creates doubt both in civil and political class and the
    parties like ANP, Baloch nationalists, raised serious objections to this project. Cultural
    differences in CPEC partnership must also be addressed political leaders on one hand on ground
    have developed good relations with each other but this is not enough alone their citizens across
    the border must also be taken into considerations they have different culture, norms, way of
    living, thinking so this may result in misunderstanding when Chinese co-operations will be
    investing in Pakistan and this issue than could negatively affect CPEC project.

    EXTERNAL HARDLES- CPEC is a cause of great worry for the enemies of Pakistan both within and
    outside the territory .USA, India and Western world consider this project as a strategic moment
    adopted by Pakistan in this modern world era they say as a result of this project Pakistan will
    assume the central economic position in the whole region. And for the project to be collapsed
    India have put their heads to design a new strategy to block this project forward march likewise
    the International Media backed by the US and different lobbying groups chant the complete BRI
    as one debt, one trap instead of one belt one road. As a result of these lobbying proxy wars and
    terrorism started in Pakistan, the support of American CIA, Israeli Mossad and Indian Raw has
    continuously been assisting the military groups and the arrest of Indian spy Kulbushan Yadav
    was the biggest proof of India trying to create unrest in Baluchistan, this terrorism and religious
    extremism is also a threat to the Chinese engineers working here in Pakistan for this project as
    we have witnessed in May 2016, Chinese engineers in Karachi were attacked by Sindh
    separatists so these kind of a situation threaten the Pakistan-Chinese plans of developing the
    CPEC. Also India also to led down the CPEC project of Pakistan had started to fund for the
    Iranian fund of Chabahar which they think will give a tough time to CPEC project.

    Pakistan needs to overcome these issues for the timely and successful completion of the CPEC
    which will uplift millions of Pakistanis out of poverty and misery and will economically boost up
    Pakistan with different development projects.
