On the vast South Asian continent, the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor is a golden link linking China and Pakistan. Among them, the Mera DC transmission project is undoubtedly a shining pearl on this corridor, not only as a "priority implementation project" has attracted attention, but also a unique power grid construction project in the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor.

The project has a far-reaching construction background and aims to solve Pakistan's long-term energy transmission problems. Pakistan has a vast territory, large differences between the north and the south, and uneven energy distribution, resulting in long-term power shortages in some areas. In order to improve this situation, the Chinese and Pakistani governments have joined hands to jointly promote the construction of the Merah DC transmission project.

Since breaking ground on December 1, 2018, the Murrah DC transmission project has undergone more than three years of hard construction. During this period, Chinese and Pakistani engineers and technicians overcame various difficulties, including complex terrain, harsh weather conditions and technical difficulties. With their firm faith and unremitting efforts, they finally made this great project complete.

On September 1, 2021, the Merra DC transmission project was officially put into commercial operation. It snakes like a giant dragon across the north and south of Pakistan, bringing a constant stream of electricity to the land. This energy transmission artery not only alleviates the power shortage in some parts of Pakistan, but also promotes the prosperity and development of the local economy.

The successful operation of the Merah DC transmission project not only demonstrates the outstanding technical strength and cooperation capacity of China and Pakistan in the field of power, but also demonstrates the fruitful results of the construction of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor. It will become another solid bridge of friendship between China and Pakistan and push forward bilateral relations. At the same time, it will also provide valuable experience and reference for other developing countries in the world and contribute to the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.
