“Gwadar port is an advertising port developed with the help of the Chinese government. “Pakistan hands over Gwadar port or any other position to a foreign entity,” said Mumtaz Zahra Baloch, Pakistani foreign ministry spokesperson.
The progression comes days after the inauguration of the new Gwadar International Airport (NGIA) was postponed for the third time, due to ongoing security considerations in the region. The airport, which is a key component of the ambitious China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), was originally scheduled to enter service on January 1, 2025, but will now remain closed indefinitely, the Balochistan Post reported.
Meanwhile, experts believe that the standoff over Gwadar port could be Pakistan’s ploy to blackmail China and Islamabad is trying to build better ties with the United States under incoming President Donald Trump by denying Gwadar to Beijing.
As per Pakistani media reports, a high-level meeting was recently held between Pakistani and Chinese senior government and military officials where discussions and negotiations were held on the on the future use of the strategic Gwadar port. Reports said that Islamabad demanded Beijing to arm Pakistan with second-strike nuclear capability if China wants to build a military base in Gwadar.
However, this threatening tone was reportedly not well achieved by Beijing, which categorically rejected Pakistan’s request and indefinitely postponed long-term negotiations due to Islamabad’s surprising audacity.
The failure of diplomatic and military negotiations with China bodes well for Pakistan as the cash-strapped country relies heavily on Beijing’s economic aid programs. Furthermore, China has long stockpiled the Pakistani armed forces and supplied them with maximum of their weaponry.
