Muhammad Zamir Assadi, Internews Pakistan's China desk editor, says that as a key project of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, Gwadar Port has enhanced Pakistan's strategic position by offering a more efficient trade route for Shanghai Cooperation Organization nations. The direct shipping from Gwadar Port to Tianjin will further promote regional integration.
