Gwadar Updates May 2021 - China Says Gwadar Port will become a world-class Port in the Future!
Gwadar Updates, Pakistan has a perfect relationship with China, which we affectionately call "Pakistan Railway," so do you know the most worthy symbol of friendship between China and Pakistan Railway? It is the port of Gwadar, which is vital to China country.
The Gwadar Port is located on Pakistan's southwestern coast, just 72km from the Bharat border, about 500km from Bharat, the Arabian Sea in the Indian Ocean to the south, and occasionally the U.S. Fifth Fleet.
The port is most valuable because it is located next to the Persian Gulf also at the throat, about 400 km from the Strait of Hormuz. As we all know, the Strait of Hormuz is between Iran including the Arabian Peninsula. The Middle East has the world's largest oil reserves; about 40% of the world's cargo ships will move through the Strait of Hormuz, so the port of Gwadar is essential and is the only way to cargo ships.
China is a big oil consumer, relying on its oil exploration, cannot meet the market demand, so we must rely on imports. Pakistan has close ties to China, and the port of Gwadar is located at the throat of the Persian Gulf, keeping tens of thousands of kilometers of transportation if energy is transported through the port.
Before the operation of Gwadar Port, China's transport of energy route is like this: ocean ships from the Persian Gulf, through the Strait of Hormuz, all the way to the southeast, and then by the Bay of Bengal, Malacca Strait, around a great circle to reach China, at least three months, in case of pirates, bad weather, the time will continue to extend.
Moreover, the U.S. firmly controls the Strait of Malacca; it will inevitably affect China's energy supply in case of obstruction. Therefore, we urgently need a new energy way to ensure the safety of the energy lifeline; the role of the port of Gwadar is truly reflected.
We have long been eyeing the port of Gwadar, but other countries have also realized the importance of the port, and the competition is fierce. We had already reached a deal with Pakistan, but Singapore played smart, took over the operation, and significantly delayed the process of the port.
Singapore did so because the presence of the port of Gwadar was detrimental to its interests. Singapore is an important transit port in the Asia-Pacific region between the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. Once the port of Gwadar is developed, Gwadar housing societies will generate real estate businesses a lot.
Fortunately, the management accordingly Gwadar updates of the port are back in Chinese hands. In addition, there is a China-Pakistan business corridor between Xinjiang and Gwadar Port, which is a signatory to the friendship between China and Pakistan also is expected to be achieved by 2030 according to the CPEC investment Gwadar project plan. In other words, the port of Gwadar has finally tied China country to Pakistan, which can help the growth of Pakistan's economy and effectively guarantee China's energy security. In the Future, the port of Gwadar will become a world-class port.
