Abstract:

China and Pakistan have developed into all - day,all - round strategic cooperative partners,and have made notable
progress in various fields,especially in the field of energy. China - Pakistan energy cooperation has two favourable conditions
strategy cooperation and Pakistan’s geo - strategic position,but due to Pakistan’s poor domestic security and infrastructure,
there exist challenges to the cooperation between the two nations. At present,China and Pakistan cooperate mainly in
hydropower,nuclear power,coal - gen and new energies(wind power and solar energy)and so on. Due to the requirements of
China-Pakistan’s strategic interests,particularly the requirements of common energy security interests,China-Pakistan’s energy
channel construction should be strengthened in the future since the two countries have actively promoted energy cooperation
in recent years and the cooperation in the fields of electricity,nuclear power is mature now;the two countries are actively
preparing for the energy channel construction and are promoting the energy strategy;Gwadar Port is a favourable factor for
energy channel construction. The energy strategy channel construction would not only ease the pressure on Pakistan’s economic
development,but also boost economic development in Western China.

Key words: energy cooperation, energy security, geo-strategy, Gwadar Port, energy channel
