that western China could also benefit from
the Gwadar seaport and it will create a
ribbon of economic activity and hundreds of
new jobs along the proposed highway linking
Gwadar with the Karakoram highway in the
north.
GWADAR COAST CENTRE (GCC)
- The
Baluchistan Govt. and a UAE firm HRC signed
an agreement under which Gwadar Coast Centre
(GCC) would be established for the
development of the port city. The mega
project would be established at 2000 acres
of land that would generate over 10,000
jobs. GCC would invest $3.2 billion. Three
coast centres were already working in Norway
and one in U.S.A. The project would be
completed by 2014. The project would help
making Gwadar a big international port city.
