Over the past decade, both CPEC and non-CPEC Chinese investments in Pakistan and Afghanistan—particularly in infrastructure, technology, and development—have expanded significantly. The roundtable provided a platform to examine how these initiatives can contribute to sustainable development and regional stability, while also addressing the security and governance challenges that shape outcomes on the ground.

The event was co-organized by the Pak Institute for Peace Studies (PIPS), Chr. Michelsen Institute (CMI) and the Peace Research Institute Oslo (PRIO)
