From the Kasim Port coal-fired power plant to the upgrading and reconstruction of the Karakoram Highway, from the Gwadar Port Free Zone to the Lahore Orange Line rail transit, a series of major projects have not only effectively promoted the upgrading and replacement of Pakistan's infrastructure, but also effectively improved local people's livelihoods and set an example for regional interconnectivity and economic development.
