Pakistan, Oman plan to link Gwadar, Sohar ports

Pakistan and Oman have been discussing plans to link Gwadar Port in Pakistan with Sohar Port in Oman, creating a sister port relationship. The talks took place during a meeting between Gwadar Port Authority Chairman Noor Ul Haq Baloch and Oman’s Consul General Sami Abdullah Salim Al Khanjari. The proposed partnership aims to enhance trade, shipping, and logistics links, with a direct maritime route between the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) and Gulf and Central Asian markets.

Officials also discussed establishing direct air connectivity through Salam Air and potential Omani investments in the Gwadar Free Zone. Both sides agreed to enhance technical cooperation in various sectors and move forward with finalizing a memorandum of understanding (MoU) in the coming weeks.
