• The geostrategic and geopolitical significance of the South Asian region has enhanced over the period of time. The positioning of Pakistan in this region has brought it into the limelight especially because of bearing Gwadar, a deep seaport in its domain. China and Pakistan 'all weathered friends' strengthened their kinship ties by entering into a billion-dollar project of China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) which comprise of various developmental projects related to the energy sector and improvement of infrastructure in Pakistan. Alike CPEC there are other two economic corridors, the Panama Canal and Suez Canal projects which have brought various developmental reforms in their respective regions. This qualitative study on basis of empirical evidence evaluates the literature available to anticipate the improvements CPEC can bring in the South Asian Region in comparison with the improvements brought by corridor projects of Panama Canal and Suez Canal.
