There has been a sharp escalation of 'work on the ground' in Gawadar over the last 12 months. The Chinese are steaming through this one. Awesome pace.

Gwadar gets state-of-the-art football facility
KARACHI: While the Pakistan Football Federation is in doldrums and unable to provide facilities to footballers in the country, the private sector in the country has stepped up to do the job.
Pakistan’s beautiful coastal area of Gwadar is already in the news for so many weeks due to CPEC project, and now the city has got a FIFA certified artificial turf, under a public-private project.
Country’s mini-football operating company Total Football, in collaboration with Balochistan government, has installed a state-of-the-art mini-football facility in Gwadar, with FIFA certified artificial turf.
Being just next to the beach in Gwadar, the facility provides an eye catching view, and a great opportunity for the local talent to carry on their Football activities.
“In Gwadar, the local football enthusiasts can be seen wearing shirts of the top European clubs. Some of them are local fishermen who go fishing in the morning wearing their football jerseys, and after returning in the evening they play football with bare feet on the beaches,” said an official of Total Football.
“Fish carcases are usually lying close to where they are playing football but that doesn’t keep them from playing because they view football as an escape from all the difficulties and stresses of their daily lives. Now, with the new, scenic football facility in Gwadar by the coast, these and other local players will be able to pursue and enjoy their passion in a world-class footballing environment,” he added.
According to officials, the facility will also be used for other events including training, for both children and adults, as well as for non-profit community engagement activities.

60% Of First-Phase Construction Of Gwadar’s Free Zone Completed
BEIJING (China): Chinese and Pakistani engineers have completed 60 percent of the first-phase construction of Gwadar’s free zone which was expected to be completed by the end of this year, Deputy General Manager of Gwadar Free Zone Company Hu Yaozong said.
“Chinese engineers and their Pakistani counterparts are working round the clock in the construction site with the hope of seeing the free zone is open to operation as early as possible,” he told ‘China Daily’ in an interview on Tuesday. The free zone is a key step towards developing the Gwadar Port into an important regional hub that will benefit not only south Asia, but also the countries in Central Asia and the Middle East.
The free zone covers about 923 hectares of land and will be developed in four phases. It is designed to take advantage of Balochistan’s rich fishery and mineral resources to develop relevant industries for overseas market and to develop light industry for the domestic consumption. As a part of the light industry plan, China’s Linyi overseas market, a comprehensive shopping mall project, will soon be introduced into the free zone.
“The Linyi market in Gwadar will develop an overseas warehouse so as to make their goods not only available in the Pakistan market, but also in markets around the region,” Hu said. According to Hu, the first round of investment has almost completed with projects on fishery and electric motors settled and business center enterprises moved in. The second-phase construction of the free zone is featured with a huge stainless steel factory, which, Hu added, would create a considerable number of jobs for locals in Gwadar, which has a population of less than 100,000.
With the further development of the port and free zone, work forces in other villages around Gwadar are expected to flow into Gwadar. According to Hu, a training school donated by China will be completed soon.
After short-term training, local people are expected to find a position in the developing Gwadar, he said.
Director General of Gwadar Port Authority (GPA) Munir Ahmad Jan also shows high expectations on Gwadar’s future. Besides Chinese and Pakistani investors, a lot of investors from other countries have come to the GPA to consult on business opportunities in the free zone, he said. In 2016, the Pakistani government issued a financial act which ensured a 23-year tax exemption policy for the Gwadar free zone in a bid to attract more international investors.
Jan said as business people have seen the bright future of the Gwadar port, a lot of Pakistani real estate investors came to Gwadar to purchase land. He said the land prices now in Gwadar are increasing fast and real estate related industries have witnessed real momentum in the small city. “We feel that Gwadar’s free zone area needs further expansion and we have requested for more area,” he said.
“China and Pakistan have an equally long history, but China developed rapidly due to sincere Chinese leadership and now it has become the leading economy in the world. We shall try to maximize our experiences, cooperation and assistance from China to develop our own country and improve common people’s lives,” Jan told Xinhua.
The development of the Gwadar port is not only in the economic field, but also at a broader social level.
A vessel carrying construction material from a China-donated emergency center reached Gwadar in March.
The medical center, which will come into service as early as in May, is designed to carry out basic diagnosis and treatment, conduct small surgeries and emergency rescues. It will initially be operated by Chinese medical teams and be gradually handed over to the Pakistani side in the future.
In September last year, a China-donated primary school came into use in Gwadar. The school had planned to enroll about 150 pupils, but more than 300 students of different grades attend the school as many locals believed that the school had better teachers and facilities. “We are very thankful to the Chinese people who have long been very active in Pakistan’s infrastructural development. I think our relationship will be further strengthened with the passage of time because of the sincere leadership on both sides,” Jan concluded.

Gwadar free zone development moves into second phase: GFZC official
BEIJING: Gwadar, the third deep-water port in Pakistan, now operates three multifunctional piers with an annual throughput capacity of between 50,000 and 70,000 20-foot equivalent units, as well as bringing 20,000 jobs to locals.
The port will also serve as a trade gateway for East and Central Asian countries to other parts of the world, according to Chairman, China Communications Construction Co, Liu Qitao on Sunday.
After the completion of the construction, the CCCC will also be responsible for a series of follow-up projects, such as the operation of a free-trade zone in Gwadar Port, he told local media.
