Gwadar Port

Currently, if functional, the port can manage only 11 million tons of bulk cargo annually, just 17 percent of Karachi Port’s cargo.

Rallies, demonstrations, sit-ins, and protests are ongoing in various parts of Balochistan despite crackdowns by the government. 

Its port and connectivity infrastructure are impressive. However, drainage systems are unable to withstand even a few days of heavy rain.

Even as governments celebrate the "successes" of CPEC, Gwadar’s residents want to be included in its benefits.

Some Pakistanis are worried about Gwadar’s considerable reliance on Iranian electricity, especially in the context of U.S. opposition to trade with Iran.

The revival of the Gwadar power project based on imported coal could heighten Pakistan’s economic stress.

It could. But past experience underscores the importance of Pakistan and Barrick Gold being transparent on the terms of the deal they struck.

Gwadar often sees intense seasonal rains that can cause flooding. Recent CPEC-linked development in the rapidly growing city may be making that problem worse.

Beijing is only in the preparatory stages of creating the architecture required to meaningfully exploit the military capabilities of commercial ports.

Can a hashtag help bring back a promised opportunity for Gwadar, the famous port city of CPEC?

An attack on a luxury hotel in the heart of Gwadar proves that Pakistan's military-centric approach is failing.
