Gwadar is
becoming the most important economical hub from Pakistan – August 20, 2018
published by thenews.com.pk
It is
being expected that Gwadar will become the most important hub of economic
activities for Pakistan in the upcoming years. According to Chairman Senate
Sadiq Sanjrani, China should declare Dalian, a major city and seaport in the
south of Liaoning Province, the sister city of Gwadar because they could
have an immensely positive influence on each other.
Dalian
has already experienced massive industrialization and development of Special
Economic Zones and Pakistan itself could benefit from Dalian’s experience.
It would be able to develop a hi-tech industry while further developing
CPEC.
According
to Sanjrani:
“China and Pakistan are actively engaging at level
of central governments and there’s still a huge potential for cooperation among
provinces, cities and regions of both the countries”
CPEC will
create two million jobs by 2030 – August 21, 2018 published by

It has
been announced that China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) will boost the
economic activity in Pakistan by creating two million jobs by 2030. One of the
reasons is the industrialization of the region as well as the massive
development of Gwadar Port being the need for civil engineers, technicians and
economist. By providing jobs to local people, China will improve the
overall standard of living in Pakistan which also includes the underprivileged
areas of the country. Training and development of human resources will be the
key to the growth in Pakistan.
At the
initial stage, Chinese companies may bring in their own workforce but it isn’t
the best solution for the long run. China will be able to hire four local
workers for the wage of one Chinese worker. There’s also no additional cost of
plane tickets, accommodation or other cost as the workers live in the area itself.
Gwadar’s
development under CPEC to directly benefit Balochistan – August 27, 2018 Published by
xinhuanet.com
Gwadar
being the most influential port of Pakistan is bound to become increasingly
important in the upcoming years. One of the main factors due to which this
is taking place is because of the continuous evolvement of the Balochistan
province in Pakistan. Earlier this year, the first phase of Gwadar Port’s Free
Zone was inaugurated in the city which was attended by numerous potential
investors who realized the large-scale opportunities in the city.
According
to Gwadar Port Authority (GPA) Dostain Khan Jamaldini is Gwadar:
“a city of some 110,000 people and such massive
industrialization under CPEC will have a great impact not only on the city but
also on the whole Balochistan province. The Gwadar Free Zone will have the
capacity to generate at least 38,000 direct jobs in the remote city”.
A
community of shared future with Pakistan – August 28, 2018 written by

In the
past, there were doubts about the cooperation between China and Pakistan which
also included false accusations that China wanted to establish a Chinese colony
in the port city of Pakistan. However, the relation between China and Pakistan
demonstrated a model of excellence of a state-to-state relationship. It shows
the strength of both countries as well as the hunger for development and
improvement. One of the main successes of this cooperation is the outcome of
CPEC (China-Pakistan Economic Corridor).
CPEC has
progressed in four different and important areas of Pakistan, particularly in
Gwadar: The ports, transportation infrastructure, energy and industrial
cooperation. So far more than 70,000 direct jobs were created for the local
people.
According
to Yao Jing need China and Pakistan:
“To work together to push our all-weather
friendship to new heights to build a community of China-Pakistan shared future
at an early date.”
Mideast
and Africa’s road to China goes through Gwadar – August 29, 2018
written by china.org.cn
Its
location at the center of three civilizations makes Gwadar a very
important area for investments and trading opportunities. This enables Middle
East, Africa, and Central Asia to invest in one of the most influential region
in Pakistan. The Persian Gulf, that produces abounding oil, and Africa with
their raw materials, would not have to transport their goods anymore via a longer
and arduous route. Gwadar offers a much faster and more secure route for
shipping and transportation.
Gwadar is
a critical aspect of the BRI’s flagship project: the China-Pakistan Economic
Corridor (CPEC). Several countries from the Middle East and Africa have
expressed their great interest in joining CPEC because they see the potential
and a very bright future of Gwadar.
