Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The KKH is a critical route for CPEC 2.0’s Regional Connectivity Corridor, linking Pakistan and China. The new framework requires that CPEC 2.0 projects treat resilience and maintenance as part of corridor competitiveness, rather than costs discovered after failure.
