Pakistan, Oman plan to link Gwadar, Sohar ports
https://www.dawn.com/news/2028271
Pakistan and Oman are planning to establish Gwadar Port and Sohar Port as sister ports, with the aim of enhancing trade, shipping, and logistics links between the two countries. During a recent meeting, Gwadar Port Authority Chairman Noor Ul Haq Baloch and Oman’s Consul General Sami Abdullah Salim Al Khanjari discussed measures to improve connectivity, reduce transit times, and strengthen regional trade connections.
The proposed sister-port arrangement is expected to provide a direct maritime link between the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) and Gulf and Central Asian markets. Officials also explored potential investments in the Gwadar Free Zone and joint ventures in logistics, warehousing, and fisheries sectors. Both sides agreed to enhance technical cooperation in various areas and move forward with finalising a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in the coming weeks.
