This study will examine how the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) will have an impact on the route through China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), another extension of the BRI, either positively or negatively. CPEC is a joint project of Beijing and Islamabad. While the project is welcomed by the European, Eurasian and Central Asian countries, it concerns some other countries like India and Afghanistan. China is also making long-term plans with the CPEC, and it indicates that these infrastructure projects will provide peace and security in the region in the future. The dimensions of relations between China, Pakistan, and their neighboring countries in the scope of BRI will be explained
