Key Points:

• The Pakistan-China comprehensive agreements have not been extended to cover the bilateral security of their
  partnership.
• The human security concerns due to increased bilateral contact have primarily affected the safety of Chinese
  workers in Pakistan apart from compromising cross-border security of nationals from both sides.
• The security environment of Pakistan needs to remain at the centre of CPEC’s welfare.
• Both sides realise the need for strengthening their joint security cooperation, law enforcement and counter terrorism capabilities.
• Ensuring bilateral security is imperative given the potential of CPEC to become a tool in the hands of both internal
  and external actors looking to jeopardise the security of Pakistan and the South Asian region.
