Gwadar, which was once a small fishing village but has now become a significant harbor under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), is set to play a key role in Pakistan’s import strategy.
The report indicates that Gwadar Port will handle various imports, including wheat, sugar, and fertilizers.
This development is expected to have a major impact on Balochistan’s economy and job market. The port, regarded as a strategic asset for Pakistan, is projected to evolve into an international trade hub, with future plans to boost its export capacity as well.
The full operation of Gwadar Port is seen as crucial for generating employment in Balochistan and ensuring the province’s economic stability. It is expected to ease the pressure on Karachi Port and bring in foreign exchange, potentially improving the livelihoods of the local population.
Furthermore, reports suggest that the activation of Gwadar Port could lead to a significant reduction in poverty and unemployment in the region. Also, job opportunities at the port will likely prioritize local residents and people from other parts of Balochistan.
In addition to employment, Gwadar Port is expected to open up new avenues for education and research for the youth of Balochistan, aiding in the overall development of the province and enhancing Pakistan’s prosperity.
