LAHORE-KASHGAR BUS SERVICE

Nov. 7, 2018

Inspite of India’s objection, Pakistan and China have launched a luxury bus service passing through PoK from Lahore to Kashgar city in China’s Xinjiang province.

About:

  • The Kashgar-bound bus left on its maiden journey from Gulberg in Lahore. It is part of an initiative to connect the two countries via road under the USD 60 billion China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).

  • The bus will take 36 hours from Lahore to reach the Xinjiang province in China’s far west. The Lahore-Kashgar bus will run four days a week from Lahore and will have five stopovers before crossing into China at Khunjerab and will require a valid visa and ID card.

  • Pakistan called it a big day in relations between Pakistan and China. However, India lodged strong protests with China and Pakistan over the proposed bus service between the two countries through Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).
