Gwadar is a port city located on the shores of the Arabian Sea, on the South-Western coast of Baluchistan, Pakistan. The city is in the news lately because of its immense trade potential. Gradually, Gwadar will evolve to become an important International transit point, connecting South Asia with Persian Gulf, Middle East, Central Asia and North-East Asia.

Under this plan, which will be carried out by Gwadar Development Authority, in addition to Gwadar port, a network of roads, connecting Gwadar with Karachi, Pasni, Ormara, and Turbat will be constructed in four phases.
