This article examines Gilgit-Baltistan’s uncertain status vis-à-vis Pakistan in light of the China–Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC or the Corridor), an approximately $46–60 billion USD mega-project that will connect southern Pakistan and western China. While Gilgit-Baltistan is considered the ‘gateway’ to CPEC, the Corridor has, so far, only magnified the region’s long-standing political, legal and economic ambiguity in relation to Pakistan. The article highlights the persisting impacts that Gilgit-Baltistan’s ambiguous status have on the region’s ability to participate in and benefit from CPEC, and the resulting cost of such exclusion for the people of Gilgit-Baltistan, as well as for the CPEC countries as a whole. It first examines how Gilgit-Baltistan has been largely left out of CPEC’s decision-making processes and second, highlights how the region’s status impacts its access to opportunities in the Corridor’s energy portfolio
