For the first time, the Karakoram Highway will stay open during winter. Pakistan’s authorities made this decision to keep the road connecting Pakistan and China open, despite the harsh winter weather.
The Karakoram Highway is a vital route for trade and travel between the two countries. It passes through rugged mountains, making it a challenging journey. However, the highway’s winter opening is expected to increase trade, tourism, and cooperation between Pakistan and China.
To ensure safety, the authorities have taken important steps to maintain the highway during winter. This includes clearing snow and repairing damaged roads.
The Karakoram Highway is often called the “Eighth Wonder of the World” due to its impressive construction. Keeping it open during winter will have a significant impact on the local economy and people’s lives.
Key benefits of the winter opening:
- Increased trade between Pakistan and China
- Boost in tourism
- Improved cross-border cooperation
- Economic benefits for local communities
- Enhanced connectivity between Pakistan and China
The decision to keep the Karakoram Highway open during winter is a significant achievement for Pakistan and China.
