  • Abstract
    In the present geo-economics situation, the significance of the sea ports cannot be ignored; Because of the important sea ports, Dubai is now the nucleus of the world‟s economy, especially of the Gulf. But as things are, the Middle Eastern part has been engulfed, a lot lately, in serious political conflicts because of which large disturbances are being predicted in the next few years. In order to deal with this situation, an alternative, near to Dubai, needs to be positioned very soon so that uninterrupted and a constant supply of oil is ensured from Gulf region throughout the world, even in case of a worst political scenario. The port in Karachi could have been a better option but the load on that port is to such an extent that it cannot bear much more. The port of Gwader is not only in the vital interest of Pakistan and China but also in the paramount interest of the region‟s development. Thus the vital importance of Gwader cannot be ignored for the region especially for China and Central Asia.
