Gwadar Port is located in Balochistan, Pakistan and was historically important for trade. It was developed in 3 phases to become a major port city. Phase 1 was completed in 2007. Future plans under China Pakistan Economic Corridor involve expanding the port's capacity significantly through 2045 to handle 400 million tons of cargo annually. The port is strategically important for trade routes between China, the Middle East, Central Asia, and Pakistan, and will benefit these regions economically through infrastructure development and increased business opportunities.
