Oman and Pakistan are exploring closer cooperation between their respective ports of Sohar and Gwadar, as part of broader efforts to strengthen maritime connectivity, trade, and logistics links. The potential partnership was discussed during a recent meeting between the Consul General of Oman in Pakistan and the Chairman of Gwadar Port Authority.
Both sides are considering developing the ports as sister ports, which could lead to increased shipping links, trade opportunities, and investment in the region. The proposed cooperation could also facilitate direct air connectivity between Gwadar and Oman, as well as strengthen logistics cooperation and create stronger connections between the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), Gulf markets, and Central Asia.
The talks may also explore Omani investment opportunities in the Gwadar Free Zone, particularly in logistics, warehousing, and fisheries. Further discussions are expected to take place as both countries work towards finalising a memorandum of understanding in the coming weeks.
