INTRODUCTION

Impact, Belt and Road Initiative is a Chinese initiative for global development in which included industrial zones, communication infrastructure, the energy infrastructure in Asia, Africa, Europe, Americas, Middle East and international organizations.

The researchers have tried to include very recent data from all possible sources to expedite the argument.

Historical Significance of China-Pakistan Friendship
Since 1950 Sino-Pak relations started (Arif, 1984) relationships were more improved in 1953 after the trade agreement (Dixit, 1987). Since 1970 both countries relationship became stronger in all sectors. People of two nations build respectable confidence with friendly policies. We can see the upshot of this deep-rooted friendship with great achievement in the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC); both countries are significant partners and working together to save their common interest with strategic communication. In 2013 China, reiterates the idea of the Silk Road for regional integration along the BRI Economic Belt to perceive the economic demands of the whole world 4 . CPEC project is a game-changer for Pakistan and an exemplary model of cooperation that has the potential to bring a positive change not only for regional but also for international level and will help to overcome against the backdrops. China's premier Li Keqiang李克强 in May 2013 came to the visit to Pakistan and he quoted with a catchword that "good neighbors are a blessing" and during his visit, he gives particular importance that Pakistan is an "iron friend" and trustworthy for China. Furthermore, Chinese people are called Pakistani people with a special phrase "Ba Tie 巴 铁" (trustworthy Pakistan and Iron Brother) 5 . Chinese President Xi Jinping in April 2015came to Pakistan, and during this visit of Mr. Xi both sides decided to more improve their relationship in course of all-weather strategic partnership 6 and both countries signed on fifty-one agreements (Khan, n. d.). Gwadar port is a key part of CPEC project in which industrial zones, communication infrastructure and energy infrastructure (Asif, 2018). This corridor will improve the life of people and boost long-term socio-economic prosperity 7 . Let us have a look on cultural exchanges between both countries; it will be helpful to know about the existing status and framing the future strategy. As stated by the Embassy of the People's Republic of China (PRC) in Islamabad Pakistan, cultural exchanges between two countries links from the antique times. Since 1949 after the founding of the PRC, both countries took a number of steps to enhance the cultural exchange from both sides. From 25 March 1965, the most important step was to promote a two-way exchange in which both countries signed the Cultural Cooperation agreement. Both countries recommenced the signing and execution regularly of a two-year executive program. The outcome of this thing is that cooperation of cultural exchange has made ceaseless progress since the diplomatic ties of both countries. In May 1983 and November 1991 high-level cultural exchanges between both countries and a Chinese Government Cultural Delegation visited Pakistan. A Pakistani Government Cultural Delegation visited to China in November 1981, June 1982and September 1999 .
Moreover, Beijing and Islamabad held many fruitful exchanges and cooperation in different fields such as sports, education, Literature, art, cultural relics, information, youth affairs, women affairs, health, publications, archives, etc. Chinese art troupes visited in various Pakistan cities and performed folk songs, dance, acrobatic, and performed traditional instrumental. As told by official sources, two-way exchanges occur in different areas like handicraft, painting, over and above puppet show. From both sides, the literature quite a few translated into each other's language throughout the year. In the field of TV and film, a special agreement was signed in the mid-1980s by the governments of both countries to promote the cooperation of several TV programs jointly produced to enhance people-topeople contact 9 . Sino-Pak cooperation in the field of education has been increased over the past years. The Chinese government offers hundreds of scholarships to Pakistani students. Currently, 25,000 students are enrolled in Chinese universities; according to Pakistani education attach in Beijing, around 7,034 are studying on scholarships 10 and increasing every year.

Literature and Art
Definitions of literature have varied over time. In Western Europe prior to the eighteenth century, literature as a term indicated all books and writing 11 . A more restricted sense of the term emerged during the Romantic period, in which it began to demarcate "imaginative" literature 12 . Concerning art, the "institutional" definition was first proposed by George Dickie in 1969 13 , and again, in somewhat revised form, in his 1974 book Art and the Aesthetic: "A work of art in the classificatory sense is (1) an artifact (2) a set of the aspects of which has had conferred upon it the status of candidate for appreciation by some person or persons acting on behalf of a certain social institution (the art world)." 14 To understand literature, various ways can be in written or oral works such as drama, poetry, novels in which words use to stimulate the reader's imagination and make available a unique vision of life for the reader. Literature is a creative work, a universal form of expression that is discourse intellectual human's concerns, emotional and spiritual. This notion dated back from the fourteenth century. From eighteenth-century, Literature viewed as sound written books or creative work of an imaginative. Good literature is believed to disclose the creativity that can raise new points of view, debates, and reader expands his understanding by himself and refreshes his spirit. Additionally, literature can have survived with a large variety of media such as audiovisual, audio, oral, etc. That is a cultural expression for the reason that it expresses the beliefs, human knowledge, and behaviors (Eyong, Mufuaya, & Foy, 2004).
The word art might talk about to several things such as:  Study of a creative skill,  Process of creative skill,  Product of creative skill  The audience's experience with the creative skill Art is a touch that stimulates an individual's ideas through the senses or thoughts, emotions, beliefs. Creative art is a group of disciplines that produce artwork and are compelled by a personal drive and deliver a message and mood. Artworks interpreted based on images or objects or can be openly made for this purpose. According to some scholars like Kant, arts and sciences could be well-known by taking science such as on behalf of the field of knowledge and the arts on behalf of freedom of artistic expression.

Relationship between Literature, Art and Economic
The relationship between literature, art and economics is complex; in particular, society literature can understand to reflect the economic reality. Marxist argues that literature is not only a reflection in the society but also a specific socio-economic structure. In that particular society, the socio-economic condition of the author may be considered, such as literature being in written form. Literature is an economic activity such as a product to be produced and consumed. In the history of literature various trends and movements in terms of changes in material conditions of rise and decline of a particular genre can be interpreted and subsequent change in economic relations and structures.
In contrast, at a particular time of economic relations and economic structures of society to study the material conditions of literature can be understanding as the source of information. Centuries ago, economic ideas through several kinds of literature were used like both media of broadcasting and challenging, on the contrary, economist borrowed images from literature to give their arguments (Narayan, 2017). Economics is a discipline of culture and society that should be taught with strong reference to society and different human endeavors. There is an important aspect to measure people's feelings (positive or negative effects) like anger, worry and pain or respect, pride and pleasure. Economists measure people's experience through qualitative variables on the other hand, literature portraits these feelings through interwoven characters of the multifaceted web of social, interaction, political, economic and psychological. These images and fiction in portraits enhance the understanding of economists for human well-being (Stiglitz et al. 2009). Literature can "shape public opinion and standards on economic issues" though economic believed "direct drama, literature and language (Watts and Smith 1988). The use of literature, music, and films in economics classes shows there are educators and interesting ways (Becker and Watts 1998).
People need to communicate with each other through different expression, they draw image of their target to keep safe and sound their needs. Music is also valuable and creates new ways for the expression of emotions and communication and people used to express their sadness or joyful moments by laughing or crying. With the passage of time, these kinds of things turn into musical and melody instruction to increase the appreciation of beauty. So the born of economy and art are mainly attentive to the basic needs of human beings. Economics and artistic work in time expanded new dimensions in society, furthermore in civilized societies art became an important part. In an economic system economics concerns about growth, stability and equity, in the same way art plays a harmonising role to attain this aim. The creation of artistic work and economy based on real actions and efforts creates nonphysical and physical objects (Alpagu, 2014).

The Time Value of China-Pakistan Economic Corridor
CPEC project will enhance cooperation between Pak-China in socio-cultural and regional cooperation based on a win-win situation. There is a need to review CPEC projects from socio-cultural perspectives because socio-cultural cooperation can play an important role between two nations for deep understanding of their culture's language, customs, food, literature, and art will also provide a chance for self-reflection. For regional cooperation socio-cultural is a relatively significant place that will boost relationships through cultural cooperation and provide an opportunity to connect peoples of both countries. In society, culture is the way of life that is shred everyone in particular society, that is, take account of technology, buildings, languages, traditions, ideas, customs, etc. While social and culture are closely interlinked and related concepts, can never be detached. Cultural change is a broad term that is the phenomenon of all humans and brings social change and development in society (Ibrar, Mi, & Rafiq, 2016). CPEC is a mega project and both countries have strong strategic relationships, such as every nation's youth is the nation's power, both countries young generation can play an important role to promote their cultures and enhance the people to people contact via a friendly cultural exchange platform.
The friendly exchange between Pak-China is a model of strong relations.

In China, everyone knows about China-Pakistan friendship and called (巴铁 batie) iron brother or (好朋友haopengyou) meaning good friends. Food has great importance between cultural and people relations, Chinese people who live in Pakistan they like Pakistani food and spices. In Pakistan, there are a number of Chinese restaurants in Karachi, Islamabad, and Lahore, in these restaurants have the same taste food as in China. In China Pakistani food are also available in big cities, another CPEC effect is that Pakistani and Chinese are marrying with each other, most of live in China.

Enhancing Culture Communication through Radio
At Broadcasting House in Lahore, China radio international in cooperation with radio Pakistan has started Dosti Channel FM-98. An interesting and fascinating ceremony listened by Dingbin, the Chinese Consul General in Lahore, Director News and Current Affairs, Station Director Islamabad and Lahore, Director General Radio Pakistan, Director Programme and Chinese officials. Dosti channel termed as a milestone in China-Pakistan friendship by the Chinese Consul General on this ceremony. He stated that bilateral ties of both countries become powerful and vigour in modern era due to China-Pakistan Economic Corridor. According to Director General Radio Pakistan, Dosti Channel will further power the many aspects of bilateral relations. FM-98, Dosti Channel firstly instigated in Islamabad on 19 th December 2016 by China Radio International (CRI) and Radio Pakistan after an accord among the both Governments. After this, another FM channel was initiated in Karachi. China-Pakistan mutual project among the broadcasting organizations is intended to promote contact between people to new heights and enhance radio collaboration between both countries. Daily six hours of Urdu programmes for Pakistani viewers provided by Dosti Channel. From Kashghar to Gwadar, initiate a CPEC radio channel raising scope are planning by the Radio Pakistan and China Radio International 27 . One of the main obstacles to intercultural communication is the lack of a shared and preeminent language and culture. Therefore, radio broadcasting can play a vital role, in order to be able to establish a progressively enlightened understanding, aware of the cultures of others, it would be important or even necessary to resort to the acquisition of knowledge. The desire to have recourse to the mastery of a few languages that are different from ours to be on the same level with others can prove essential. Knowing, even if only a little, about cultures and traditions that are different from our own can be a factor that can help us identify this complicated and exceptional network of influences that have shaped the citizens of each culture (M'Begniga, & Asif, 2020).

The Role of the Social Media In Improving Contacts Between People
Strong communication and friendship will develop by the media in China-Pakistan through frequent contact and communication between the people, facilitating us in many aspects. Media will facilitate us to conclude a good change in a speedy global world and flourishing Pak-China relations to grow better. Pakistani and Chinese media reflect the 'aspiration for deeper ties' demonstrated by the official statements. Media plays an important role in constructing and sustaining a good image of Pak-Sino ties and both governments have engaged the media. Moreover, an important example of closer cooperation to mutually tackle 'Western media propaganda' which is debating by Beijing Review to inaugurate a media University in Pakistan with Chinese collaboration (Hameed, 2016). This is reflection of the generally held idea in two countries that they are misperceived victims of Western press coverage.
In Islamabad, at least in official clusters the Pak-China Institute and its publications such as Nihao-Salam and Youlin, which facilitate maintaining the image of a closer relationship? Examples of modern initiatives taken to promote people to people relations are the establishing of a Pakistan-China Media Alliance, a followers Institute in Pakistan, China-Pakistan Media Centre and China Radio International's server of a daily Urdu service as much as many other blogs, cultural and educational exchanges (Chen, Banerja, Toor & Dowine, 2014). It is intimated that different media houses are taking on board in two countries by arranging various workshops and seminars.
Social media is the most important tool to boost up people-to-people communication. Applications in Chinese social media such as WeChat and QQ are more satisfactory and adequate for people as it provides two languages support in each application such as Chinese to English translation and vice versa. Therefore, it is very significant to organize the social media application according to state policy. Different social media apps around the world such as WhatsApp, twitter, viber, Facebook, IMO and Instagram can be advanced among the masses to obtain high output from its usage by making absolute policies to minimize the different hurdle (SIYAL, 2017).
A good image of the two countries civilization, art, language and tourism draws by the print media such as upgrading newspapers and magazines. In boundary areas of China and Pakistan, a newspaper is earlier being printed which is step of enhancing two-way association in cultural fields bilingual that is Urdu and Chinese. Printing different kinds of journals, magazines, and newspapers in bilingual will energize information sharing and improve people-to-people relations.

Ways of Improving Bilateral Cooperation in Cultural Fields
CPEC is the "flagship" project out of six corridors that improved under the BRI. Sino-Pak affiliations under this project are confident to take a measure jump in trade, political, economic and strategic competitions. It is vitally significant at this point; those two sides take specific measures to improve cultural trade. It will allow the people of both countries to further derive each other's delicacy, culture, important facets of society and facilitate the growth of the bilateral relationship. Three primary methods proposed by this study to further improve China-Pakistan collaborations and cultural trade. Firstly, it is significant to construct an impressive mechanism of cultural trade between the two countries. At the nongovernmental level, exchanges and collaborations are unable to contact all sections of society effectually. China-Pakistan present running mechanism is mostly captured to an official level among the both countries. Government should play an important role in modern mechanism due to its key role in two-sided cultural communication and collaboration. Therefore, various government organizations should still be selected the couriers and leaders of this mechanism like local and national cultural sectors.
Furthermore, resources are provided by this mechanism to make plans for cooperative projects. Under this mechanism, some new organizations must be settled to solve the problems in the application of different projects, checking the efficiencies of projects and being responsible for establishing the target of bilateral cultural exchange. Quality and quantity of cultural exchanges in China-Pakistan are relatively less that is not able to match all-weather friendship between the both countries. According to an ancient Chinese who suggested that joint understanding and contacts between both countries are basis on closer communication. Therefore, it is necessary that under BRI when there are large opportunities then spread the participators in the bilateral cooperation and cultural communication. The participants can be consisting of genius people from educational institutions, culture, media, museum, television and films, tourism and should be involve the popular artist and cultural celebrities. Cooperation between both countries should be promoted by participation of all of them in bilateral cultural communication. In this case, both nations could promote their relations in similar industries. In this way, different social groups can enhance two sided cultural exchanges at different levels.
China-Pakistan Cultural and Art Corridor (CPCAC) can be construct by following the structure of CPEC which improve more bilateral frequent cultural exchange activities involving poetry, song, arts and crafts, dance, painting and fine art. Furthermore, the joint exports of cultural products will be promoted by this "CPCAC," which designs more opportunities for other countries through the "Belt and Road Initiative". Another impressive method is developing communication between the people of both nations, particularly for the youth generation. Some efforts should be made to support more Pakistanis to learn Chinese and more Chinese to study Urdu and then accelerate more exchange projects for scholars and students and many culture-sharing circles to ease the businessmen to conclude the difference among the business culture of both countries. Pakistan and China must invest in the build-up of human resources, making it a great task to advantage the bilateral cooperation and CPEC. In the world's industrial development, cultural industry has become an emerging industry and it is one of the most effective and powerful areas in the 21 st century, and more countries are utilizing it as a necessary part of their economic growth. Furthermore, people's consumption structure will change from material consumption to cultural production when the per capita GDP is enhanced, which signifies the experiences of developed and Western countries. As the world's powerful economy, the United State of America has the world's biggest entertainment industry and media, making up a third of the whole global market. Television, music and movies produced in US are used worldwide 28 . Similarly, many opportunities are produced by the BRI for cultural industry's progress for the nations. In cultural industry, some feasible regions that Pak-China bilateral collaboration could emphasize on the show as below: Advertising and publishing industry, festival display, radio and television industry, sports industry, arts and crafts industry, entertainment industry, cultural education, cultural agricultural tourism, cultural apparatus's manufacturing industry, cultural museum network and emerging cultural industry by operating digital technology. Its augury well that both governments are setting up fibre optic, increasing digital connectivity between the both nations under the extended procedure for the CPEC. TV programmes will also introduce under this plan to enhance cultural trade between the both sides. Bilateral cultural exchanges should be further powered by conduct the research and assigning more funds. Actually, there are large numbers of resemblances between the both countries. For example, Khewra's Salt Mine is the second largest mine in the world which is located in Jhelum District and a small city in Sichuan province known as Zigong is also famous for salt mines. Zigong has large networks of expertise researching salt. Therefore, both cities can promote mutual projects and this model can be implemented in other general fields of research 19 . The activity and frequency of China-Pakistan bilateral communication and cultural trade will be fruitfully promoted if the above ideas are accurate. However, it is also feasible to construct cooperation institutes and cultural trade centre such as "China-Pakistan Folk Culture and Art Centre", China-Pakistan Film Centre, which can be fabulous examples of the countries along the "Belt and Road Initiative".

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Firstly, a big "Linguistic Difference" difference has been founded in socio-cultural exchange and cooperation, which could also be considered a great challenge in socio-cultural exchange and cooperation. On sites of CPEC project where many workers and companies have been involved and two potential languages can be used namely Chinese and Urdu. At the beginning, one of the languages is not spoken by one of the parties and vice versa. This language barrier poses huge problems at the start of the project where there is a lot of work to be done. This is one of the realities when two different cultures meet, especially when talking about cross-culture communication. Secondly the "Cultural Diversity" is also vital gap and challenge in socio-cultural exchange and cooperation. This concept of cultural diversity which refers to "multiculturalism" is all the more topical within the framework of the CPEC project since it is important and necessary to talk about it in this part of our thesis which is dedicated to cross-communication culture. Indeed, two different cultures, namely Chinese and Pakistani, meet and must coexist in a specific context created by the CPEC project. Lastly the "Social Aspect", because the phenomenon of social identity is a reality specific to any individual or any social group insofar as there is always the desire to highlight this differentiation with the external group. The attitude tending to highlight social identity generally appears whenever two different social groups face each other. In this specific context, a visiting social group (Chinese workers) and a local social group (Pakistanis) can also call the host country. This social identity can be shown by all the groups that come into contact. However, tolerance can play a big role in mitigating the side effects that may arise. Moreover, there should be programs to enhance different skills that could help communicate, social awareness, language propagation, culture, and art. Social media must tackle the reasons and barriers related to the people's unawareness and formulate the strategies and parameters to solve the communication barriers.

CONCLUSION
Chinese culture is a spiritual lifeline of the Chinese nation as well as an important source of core values of socialism, and a solid foundation to take a firm foothold in the world culture. China is to inherit and carry forward the excellent traditional Chinese culture and the Chinese aesthetic spirit in combination with the new era conditions. BRI provides new opportunities for Chinese culture to go to the world. We should stick to cultural confidence, highlight the advantages of ourselves, and also have the "other" dimension, and achieve unified coordination. Through mutual understanding between Sino-Pak, we will accelerate in-depth cooperation with countries in the region, provide a broader platform for Chinese culture to spread in Pakistan and also to the world, deepen the world's understanding of China, and enhance the international influence of Chinese culture. With further cooperation in the CPEC being implemented and more desirable needs for regional development are pursued, it is a right time for China and Pakistan to promote more and deeper cultural exchanges and cooperation. These cultural exchanges and cooperation will significantly boost the comprehensive bilateral relationships and help balance the regional developments to deepen further the "all-weather" bilateral strategic and cooperative partnerships between China and Pakistan. The most effective purpose of this project is to achieve understanding and cooperation between national societies for their mutual benefit. Chinese and Pakistanis are exchanging socio-economic patterns to promote mutual understanding, exchanging both material and non-material culture. The activity and frequency of China-Pakistan bilateral communication and cultural trade will be fruitfully promoted if the above ideas are accurate. However, it is also feasible to construct cooperation institutes and cultural trade centers such as "China-Pakistan Folk Culture and Art Centre", China-Pakistan Film Centre, which can be fabulous examples of the countries and the "Belt and Road Initiative". Effect of CPEC on cultural exchanges between both countries is now overwhelming. A Chinese TV series such as broadcast of Beijing Youth and Shan food commercial with a Chinese couple on Pakistan Television (PTV) are some major examples. Between China-Pakistan despite growth in trade and economic growth, there is much needed to improve cultural exchange, cooperation, and communication between both sides.
