Strategic high speed railway between Pakistan and China

[farhan_9909]

Pakistan Railways linked to Trans Railway Network (TARN). Fibre-optic line, oil & gas pipeline rail track linking Karakorum Highway to Gawadar. A six-member committee comprising equal number of experts from both China and Pakistan has been constituted to move forward with the project. China has already prepared a feasibility report of laying a railway track in the difficult terrain of Karakoram linking both the states through Khunjarab Pass.

Gawader is the world's largest deep sea port. "Gwa" means Air and "Dar" means door, and the word Gawadar means "The door of the wind" is the world's largest deep sea port lies in southwestern Pakistani province of Balochistan. The design and construction of the port is carried out in collaboration with China. It has an immense geostrategic importance as it is the entrance to the Persian Gulf and is considered to be a substitute of Dubai Port.

Khunjerab Railway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

n 2007, consultants[1] were engaged to investigate the construction of a railway through this pass to connect China with transport in Pakistani-administered northern areas of Kashmir. A feasibility study started in November 2009 for a line connecting Havelian 750 km (466 mi) away in Pakistan and Kashgar 350 km (217 mi) in China.[2]

Karakoram railway

Pakistan awarded a Rs72 million (US$1.2 million) contract to an international consortium to carry out a feasibility study for establishing a rail link with China to boost trade relations between the two countries.

The study will cover a 750-kilometre section between Havellian and the 4,730-metre-high Khunjerab Pass over Mansehra district and the Karakoram Highway. Havellian is already linked with the rest of the rail network in Pakistan; the Chinese will lay some 350 km of track within their own territory from Kashgar terminus up to the Khunjerab Pass, linking Pakistan with China's rail network, largely following the route of the Karakoram Highway.

By expanding its stake in Pakistan's rail sector, China is poised to exploit the country's advantageous geographical position - strategically located at the confluence of South, Central and West Asia.

Beijing's involvement in several rail projects in Pakistan is motivated primarily by commercial considerations, but it also sees distinct advantages for its improved transportation and access to Central Asia and the Persian Gulf states. A reliable network of road and rail links can only ensure China's access to energy-rich central Asia, serving it both commercially and strategically.

In the first week of this month,[which?] Pakistan Railways and China's Dong Fang Electric Supply Corp signed an agreement for establishing a rail link between Havellian and Khunjerab.[3] Ingenieurgemeinschaft Lasser-Feizlmayr (ILF), a consortium of consultant engineers from Austria, Germany and Pakistan, is to submit its report to the Ministry of Railways in nine months.[when?] It is most likely that the distance between Havellian and Khunjerab will involve the construction of tunnels. The ILF services encompass both the construction of new high-speed railway lines and the modernization of existing lines for standard-gauge and narrow-gauge railways in addition to tunnels.

Abbotabad, 30 minutes south from the northernmost rail terminus of Pakistan at Havelian

Under a strong govt like Imran khan this project is possible.if completed and connected till Gwadar would be a new game changer in the region

this just wont be for China bt Central asia especially tajikistan

Tajikistan seeks access to Gwadar port for exports

Staff Report

ISLAMABAD: Ambassador of Tajikistan, Zubaydov Zubaydullo Najotovich on Thursday said that his country is in a dire need of access to the world through Gwadar port of Pakistan.

could be a new route of central asia to water.since countries like tajikistan has relation with iran very tense

Not under the current security environment. Even the Chinese will not take a chance.

Indeed.but all this current security situation is temporary

Point is if this rail link is made to Tajikistam(except uzbekistam rest of them are nt pro iran hence the whole or atleast 2-3 countries in central asia) and China alone can make gwadar the busiest port of the world.

Again a leader with balls like Imran khan can make it possible

He is in politics for number of years without showing any balls, he is good at throwing his balls. What you guys need is militry man who can put belt around your countrymen.

despite pak being 3.5 times smaller than India
seems like the Indian land is dud with neither any strategic importance nor resources

despite being a much bigger economy has no role in world politics as well

The current situation has prevailed for at least the last six years and has only worsened if the state of your economy, fatalities in terrorist acts of violence, the overall situation in Balochistan and the tenuous political landscape in your biggest cities are any indicators.

Not to rain on your parade, but a trans-Pakistan-China railway link on the lines of one like this, that does not make use of existing rail infrastructure, seems implausible in the current, or near future, scenario.

It would also invalidate your legal position over Kashmir: that Kashmir is disputed because it will involve the ultra vires construction of an international linkage between Kashmir and Pakistan and between Kashmir and China, on behalf of the Kashmiris.

Well we could produce jihadi scum like Pakiland did and then
became a pain in the ass of the world. But we chose not to.

That''s why Obama, British pm,Russian putin, French president and your chini papa visit India in same year

From reading on many Pakistani forums all I have to say is credit to you guys, you don't let the cr@p happening at home affect your dreams- you still dream big! But it is the implementation of these dreams where Pakistan falls woefully short. Not much seems to happen.

 

[p2prada]

This will be as realistic as the map the OP posted, ie, Kashmir being part of Pakistan.

 

[Dovah]

Everything is strategic in Pakistan, from cross country railways to public toilets.

Dude I have been going around on PDF as a false flagger. Just by seeing the quality of posts, one can imagine why Pakiland is slowly
becoming an absolute shithole.

Everything is possible when you have money.

With such a railway, the people who is living nearby can expect hundredes millions income from the transportation alone every year, not to mention those potential investment coming along.

I don't think people would choose extreme religion when they have an opportunity of better lives.

Huh, being a taller than mountain and deeper than ocean friend, you would know better than
in Pakhana-land, people choose extremism over anything. If they weren't, they won't be involved
in so many terrorist activities.

this was nt a dream bt reality
in 2007 even funds were issued for feasibility study.

atleast search about khubjerab railway before making such statement.would save you alot of embarrassment.believe me
