On 5 October, we had a pleasure to take part in an inspirational lecture by Dr Muhammad Amjad (Salford Business School, University of Salford, UK) who shared with us his thoughts on the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). The talk focused on the China – Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) and the context of this transnational initiative, its geopolitical significance, strategic implications for the region and foreign investors.
