TEHRAN (FNA)- A senior Iranian trade official said that the Chinese officials have demanded linking Chabahar port in Iran to Gwadar in Pakistan.
"The Iranian and Pakistani ports are not rivals and can cooperate," Managing director of Chabahar Free Zone Abdulrahim Kurdi said.

He noted that the Chinese officials have applied for linking the Iranian Chabahar and Pakistani Gwadar ports.

Gwadar Port, located south of Pakistan and 72 km from the Chabahar Port, is part of the joint Chinese-Pakistani corridor project aimed at connecting the eastern regions of China to the warm waters of the Gulf of Oman, the Persian Gulf and the Indian Ocean.

Chabahar, as Iran’s sole oceanic port, is the shortest route for Afghanistan and Central Asian countries to have access to Indian Ocean.

lol China can speak on behalf of Pakistan no one in Pakistan has any objection on China. But I see China crushing Indian dream.

Why would you? Pakistan simply handed Gwadar port over to the Chinese to do as they see fit.

Why would we what?
Yes we gave Gawadar to China to run it did we had any objection about it no we are loving the fact that China is running it. We have 2 other ports to run and they are large enough for our domestic trade.

Link it. Kick india out of their henious designs against Pakistan.

If these ports are linked, indians influence in wastern part of Pakistan (in Iran and Afghanidtan) will be suffocated.

Iran actually offered Chabahar to China before but we wanted Gwadar instead due to strategic reasons. Linking these two ports would be good, Chabahar does not have the depth nor the capacity for bigger ships.
