China builds Digital Silk Road in Pakistan to Africa and Europe
China is set to lay the final stretch of a cross-border fiber optic cable in Pakistan as part of the Digital Silk Road.
The Special Communications Organization (SCO), the telecommunications branch of the Pakistan Army, is about to lay a fiber optic cable between Rawalpindi and Karachi and Gwadar's port cities. The $240 million project is in partnership with China's Huawei Technologies and was approved by the government on Jan 21. It will also connect with the PEACE (Pakistan East Africa Connecting Europe) cable in the Arabian Sea.
The Mediterranean section of the cable is already being laid from Egypt to France, and the 15,000 km long cable is expected to go into service later this year.
