Abstract:
The signing of the comprehensive strategic agreement between Iran and China in 2021 marked a new direction in the foreign policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran. This policy gained further momentum with the arrival of the 13th government. The agreement raises important issues, particularly the collaboration between China and Iran in the context of the Belt and Road infrastructure project, introduced by Chinese President Xi Jinping in 2013. This initiative encompasses six distinct land routes, with the China-Pakistan Economic Belt being the most significant. This corridor links Kashgar in western China to Gwadar in southern Pakistan. A potential means of integrating Iran into the expansive infrastructure project of the Belt and Road involves joining the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor. As a result, this article aims to explore Pakistan's collaboration with China, examining various facets of the current corridor's development and elucidating its impact on the interests of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
