A few days ago, the launching ceremony of the Gwadar Free Zone was held at the Gwadar Port City. It was one of the key events at the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor. Based on the findings of his field research, ANBOUND's renowned geostrategic expert, Chen Gong, expressed that from a strategic standpoint, the Gwadar port should be transformed from a production-oriented port city to a consumption-oriented port city in order to accumulate capital, technical, consumer, and economic value. Only thus can the hinterlands of Pakistan, Central Asia, and South Asia be uplifted and the Gwadar port can realise its full potential.
