In recent times of economic development, a number of economic corridors have emerged globally as tools of regional cooperation and development. In the context of Pakistan, there is a lack of appropriate attention to the field of HRD, which has suffered neglect through the decades ( Design/methodology/approach - The research approach of this study is purely based on literature review and on secondary data. Findings - Based on the facts and literature reviews, this study concluded that One belt, One Road in general and CPEC in particular as an economic corridor can bring sustainable and long-lasting impact on the economy only if HRD is given proper attention. Originality/value - To the best knowledge of the researchers, this is the first study that highlighted the HRD issue in CPEC.
