ISLAMABAD: PM Shehbaz Sharif on Tuesday directed the authorities concerned to ensure routing a proportion of country’s imports, particularly related to the government, through the Gwadar Port.

The PM made this landmark decision with a view to fully operationalize the Gwadar Port.

He was chairing a high level meeting on the projects under the CPEC and Chinese investment.

The prime minister instructed all the ministries to enhance collaboration for swift execution of the CPEC’s second phase and warned against any laxity by the ministries and government departments.

Instructing the provision of foolproof security to the Chinese workers, he said the promotion of trade and commerce ties with time-tested friend China was welcoming.

He told the meeting that Pakistan-China partnership was on the highest ever level, so the relevant officers and departments should strive for the positive outcomes of this relationship.
