Chinese President Xi Jinping’s April 2015 visit to Pakistan elevated Sino-Pak ties from ‘all-weather friendship’ to ‘all-weather strategic cooperative partnership to last from generation to generation’. This major progression was manifested in the signing of multi-billion dollars’ development projects in Pakistan including the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) during the presidential visit. The government of Pakistan, while dispelling apprehensions regarding the priority of communication networks in the mega project, has been vociferously enumerating the merits of the CPEC.
