China to take over operations at Gwadar: Mukhtar

[Leader]

penalty is approximately 8 to 10 million besides I don't expect you to be speculating you are speculating too much these days.what's happen to you?

we do raise that kind of money for our hostages and collect for neighbourers as well....so it aint a big deal at all...

Thanks buddy.

I don't know why Singapore dropped the ball on this project. Singapore is one of the most successful port cities on Earth.

As I understand the history, the Americans pressured Pakistan to select someone other than China to run Gwadar Port. For Pakistan to terminate the contract with Singapore and bring China in after all is a real slap in the face to the US.

China has apparently denied any such statement

China says it is unaware of Gwadar port proposal

BEIJING: China said on Tuesday that it had not heard of Pakistan’s proposal for China to help it build a naval port at the deep water port of Gwadar.

“Regarding that specific cooperative project, I have not heard of it,” Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu told a regular news briefing in Beijing.

“It’s my understanding that during the visit last week this issue was not touched upon,” she said.

She was referring to Pakistani Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani’s visit to Beijing last week. During his visit, Gilani called on Chinese firms to invest in Pakistan’s energy sector, in a bid to boost a moribund economy hit by massive floods last year and a weak Western investment.

“There is great potential for the participation of Chinese corporations in the development of the energy sector in Pakistan. This includes hydro, thermal and renewable energy,” Gilani told a joint business forum in Beijing.

Earlier this week, Defence Minister Ahmed Mukhtar said that China has agreed to take control of operations at the Gwadar Port.

In a statement issued after his visit to China, the Defence Minister had said that China will take over control of the Gwadar Port Authority once the contract with the Port of Singapore Authority (PSA) expires.

Former president Pervez Musharraf had given management and operational control of Gwadar Port to PSA in February 2007 for a period of 40 years.
