Roundtable Discussion of NUST GTTN And National Institute of
Strategic Communication, Peking University, China
Global Think Tank Network (GTTN), key policy
research, analysis and advocacy centre of the
National University of Sciences and Technology
(NUST) organised a Roundtable on Thursday,
the 14th of January, 2016, on the significance of
China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) as
the key node of One Belt, One Road Programme of
the Peoples Republic of China on the occasion of
the visit of the delegation of the senior officials of
Peking Universitys National Institute of Strategic
Communication (NISC), a major Chinese think
tank and public diplomacy platform for promoting
Track-II diplomacy.
The Roundtable was chaired by Engineer
Muhammad Asghar, Rector, NUST, and moderated
by the noted public intellectual and GTTN Senior
Fellow, Humayun Gauhar.
The participants conducted an in-depth
exploration of the multidimensional opportunities,
multi-sectoral needs, and various challenges that
were inherent in the successful development of
CPEC within the broader context of Chinas Landbased Silk Road Economic Belt (One Belt) and
21st Century Maritime Silk Road (One Road). The
discussants collectively recognised and affirmed
the game-changing significance of CPEC and went
on to enumerate its national, regional, and global
dimensions as a game-changer.
One Belt, One Road was a brilliant geostrategic
programme of China and CPEC was a crucial part
of this programme. CPEC was a veritable national
project that involved the whole of Pakistan for
the benefit of all the peoples of Pakistan without
exception. It would also contribute to the sustained
development of China. This overarching national
character should be remembered at all times by all
the stakeholders in CPEC, especially when there
were differences of opinion on the table, said Riaz
Khokhar, GTTN Senior Fellow and the former
