Abstract

 

China-Pakistan agrees on the project of China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) which is a framework for regional connectivity and economic cooperation. India did not join the CPEC on the ground that it passes through territory which is dispute between India-Pakistan. Pakistan through CPEC project will gain high economic growth which will help it, in second-nuclear strike capability because Pakistan has first-use- of –nuclear weapons against India. So, Pakistan can achieve balance of power vis-à-vis India in South Asia. This situation will deter India from taking any action against Pakistan in presence of Chinese troops in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK).Other South Asian countries can incline to China in respect of economic development purposes. In this context, India should join the CPEC project for sake of reaching an understanding for the settlement of their hot issues through negotiations. If, they resolve their issues, Asia and South Asia will flourish in economic sphere and pave way for active economic integrations. But, the India-US close strategic relations may hinder India-China-Pakistan relations because recently, the US has revealed new strategy for South Asia especially against Afghanistan and Pakistan. US put responsibility on India in respect to play a larger role in providing economic and development assistance to the war-torn Afghanistan. From historical standpoint, Pakistan has been looked as non-NATO ally to US and India as a friend not an ally. Right now, the US is beholding, India as an ally and Pakistan as the problem. Therefore, this is a new strategic shift in South Asia and can or may create problems for the regional stability of South Asia.
