Gwadar’s Importance
In a country with a comparatively short coast, Gwadar was always going to be an important site for Pakistan after its acquisition from Omani rule. In terms of its location it is the largest coastal city in the south west of the country, in close proximity to the Iranian border. Apart from the apparent location of Karachi the government also makes extensive use of Port Muhammad bin Qasim but the addition of Gwadar signifies a dynamic step for the nation’s economy in terms of sea trade.
China’s role in Gwadar’s Port & City Development
China is apprehensive, the development of the region forms a vital part of their future economic plans – the Chinese government is comprehensively invested in the development of Gwadar as the link between the $62 billion China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) and $5 trillion Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). Trade and industry between the two countries is key to the development of the city – together they make a significant co-operation, one that has massively amplified the value of Gwadar property in few years.
