PIDW25 – Driving Growth Through CPEC Projects

At PIDW25, we recognize that the success of the China–Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) goes beyond infrastructure—it requires effective dispute resolution mechanisms to sustain growth and partnerships. To meet this need, PIDW is launching a dedicated ADR Professionals’ Panel.

This panel will allow qualified arbitrators, mediators, conciliators, and dispute board members to register with PIDW and become part of a recognized platform that supports CPEC-related contracts, investments, and partnerships. By doing so, ADR professionals can gain visibility, credibility, and direct opportunities to play a vital role in shaping the future of cross-border dispute resolution.
