About Gwadar

Gwadar, located in Pakistan's southwestern province of Baluchistan, is an important harbor city on the coast of the Oman Sea. Gwadar Port is a trade corridor between the two countries under an agreement signed between China and Pakistan. According to the agreement signed in April 2015, Pakistan handed over the operating right of the port to China for 40 years. China has provided financial support for the development of the port. With this agreement, Gwadar Harbor has gained a strategic importance in terms of commercial power balances in South Asia. Gwadar has an interesting historical background. The city, which was under the auspices of the Muscat (Oman) Sultanate between 1783 and 1958, was bought by Pakistan for $ 30 million. Gwadar, who was annexed by Pakistan prior to the purchase, was included in the territory of the country as a result of bargaining diplomacy in the annexation period. In July 1977, the city was integrated into the State of Baluchistan, and the province received the title of 'winter capital'.

The name of the city means 'wind gates' in the language of the country. The economic development of Gwadar, which evolved from a small fishing village into a major and important port city, is largely dependent on the port and the special economic zones in the city. Hingol National Park, Kund Malie Beach, Omara Beach, Buzi Pass and Zalzala Jazeera Island are some of the popular tourist attractions of the city. The city, where the desert climate dominates, is arid for most part of the year. Gwadar Airport is 14 kilometers north of the city.
