[The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor will be extended to Afghanistan]Recently, the Chinese Foreign Minister and the Pakistani Foreign Minister met in Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan. During the conversation, China and Pakistan jointly issued a statement that the Belt and Road Initiative and the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor will be extended to Afghanistan. Prior to this, the Taliban in Afghanistan had already made such applications when they met with senior officials from both China and Pakistan. According to previous assessments, once the Belt and Road Initiative and the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor are settled in Afghanistan, billions of dollars in infrastructure funds will be brought in, especially the construction and improvement of Afghanistan’s railway network and highway system, which will be greatly relieved. At the same time, once the infrastructure project is confirmed, it is very likely that Chinese companies will undertake the construction, which can increase many jobs for local Afghans.

Recently, the first pile foundation of the approach bridge of the G107 Leiyang Ring Road crossing the Beijing Guangzhou Railway was successfully poured, and the project officially entered physical construction. The total length of the approach bridge is 471.4 meters, with 68 pile foundations and 113 box girders. The foundation of the bridge site is composed of soluble limestone, with developed karst caves and dissolution fractures, making pile foundation treatment extremely difficult. The project department ensures the quality of the first pile through measures such as drawing review, equipment debugging, and on-site monitoring throughout the process. In the next stage, we will summarize our experience, strictly control progress and safety, and assist in the early completion of the ring road.Editor/Cheng Liting
