In order to capture the essence of progress, change, and hope brought by the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) projects, the Pakistan-China Institute (PCI) is holding a nationwide photography competition. The "Nationwide Best BRI Projects Photography Competition-2023" central theme revolves around the CPEC projects in Pakistan, focusing on their profound impact on the economy, infrastructure and environment. The contest is open to both amateur and professional photographers of all ages residing in Pakistan, Gwadar Pro reported on Wednesday.

Celebrating the 10th anniversary of CPEC, which has acted as a bridge of friendship between Pakistan and China, this competition would not only bring awareness among the participants about CPEC development projects but will also showcase the progress of these projects. Participants are encouraged to share their insights and intellectual perceptions on the subject of BRI and CPEC, including its contribution to the public sphere, its role in modern skills enhancement and job creation.  The merits and demerits of its impact on the wellbeing of the common man, youth and women's empowerment, and other unexplored areas that may help incentivize growth and development in the new era are also encouraged.
