Developing a mutual recognition mechanism for China-ASEAN qualification framework of vocational education is essential for creating a fair, freely mobile lifelong learning system that will enable learner to carry and accumulate their learning outcomes across the region. By formulating and implementing unified standards, mutual recognition of qualifications across domains, industries and regions will be promoted, fostering greater collaboration and mobility between educational institutions and workplaces. To achieve this objective, China and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) have undertaken extensive preparations and explorations at the policy, organizational and functional levels. The development commitments outlined in the “Vision 2030 of China-ASEAN Strategic Partnership” provide a framework for the establishment of a mutual recognition mechanism, while the existing promotion measures of all parties demonstrate their commitment to realizing this vision. This paper proposes the concept of five development stages of mutual recognition of national qualification frameworks (NQFs) in vocational education, which will gradually establish the mutual recognition mechanism of regional NQFs. This mechanism will not only promote greater collaboration and mobility between learners, educational institutions, and workplaces but also achieve the ultimate goal of comprehensive development of people and society in the region.

“…It has received unprecedented attention at the global level and is widely discussed in political and economic development forums. In the international relations domain, several studies have analyzed BRI as a strategic tool to rise China's influence in the world in general and particularly in the region (Beeson, 2018;Gong, 2019;Li, 2020;Ohashi, 2018;Rahman, 2020).

China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is a model project. The development of Gwadar port is an important part of it. This research posits the geo-economics and geopolitical importance of Gwadar port. A qualitative research approach (content analysis techniques) is used to examine the geo-economic effects of Gwadar port. This research has adopted a unique geo-economics theory approach to comprehensively examine Gwadar port's significance in China and Pakistan's economic and political relations. It follows the analysis of geographical, geopolitical, and economic determinants for the geo-economics, geopolitical, and maritime security significance of Gwadar port. Official reports and government documents are used for data analysis. The findings show that Gwadar port could be a solution to the economic security targets of China and Pakistan. China will gain economic, energy, and maritime security by finding an alternate, more secure route for the supply of oil and export of goods and better access to markets of Central Asia, Europe, and the USA. Moreover, Pakistan is expected to observe a significant rise in maritime trade capacity to support the dwindling economy. Furthermore, naval security will improve by reducing reliance on existing ports in Karachi, close to the Indian border

“…The infrastructural development at the destination increases accessibility, promotes destination, fosters tourists' visit intention, and expands the tourism market (Kurihara & Wu, 2016; Pagliara, La Pietra, Gomez, & Vassallo, 2015). Infrastructural development has a well‐established positive relationship with tourism demand, trade, and economic sustainability (Arbués, Baños, & Mayor, 2015; Coronado, Garmendia, Moyano, & Ureña, 2017; Dobruszkes & Mondou, 2013; Kurihara & Wu, 2016; Noureldin, Ren, Zaheer, Ateya, & Khan, 2020; Rahman, 2020). The tourism infrastructure positively affects residents' perception of tourism impacts and, ultimately, their well‐being (Andereck & Nyaupane, 2011).…”

The mega‐infrastructural development project provides easy access to remarkable tourism destinations and keeps attracting tourists. Tourist data from the tourism department of Gilgit‐Baltistan (GB), Pakistan, show that the China–Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) project's impact positively relates to tourism demand. GB is at the early stage of tourism development, and residents show a willingness to support tourism even though tourism costs outweigh benefits. Besides, the existing tourism policy of Gilgit‐Baltistan focuses explicitly on economic sustainability but overlooks the socio‐cultural and environmental concerns. Therefore, the present study based on the stakeholder theory provides policy implications to minimize adverse effects on socio‐cultural and ecological resources and achieve sustainable tourism.
