Pakistan's Gwadar loses luster as Saudis shift $10bn deal to Karachi

[nahtanbob]

Learn about Gwadar first become making such an illogical comment. If SA wishes to move out their refinery from Gwadar to Karachi, they have the right to do so because its their investment. At the end of the day whether Karachi or Gwadar the investment is inside Pakistan but let us not make it beyond what it really is.

Let us see where the consumers of my oil refinery products live
Karachi or Gwadar

KARACHI -- Saudi Arabia has decided to shift a proposed $10 billion oil refinery to Karachi from Gwadar, the center stage of the Belt and Road Initiative in Pakistan, further supporting the impression that the port city is losing its importance as a mega-investment hub.

Consumer of oil lives in entire Pakistan plus a refinery wouldn't just be fulfilling Pakistan's needs alone, purpose of building it near a port is for export as well whether Karachi or Gwadar. This has a political angle attached to it but as long as the investment is happening inside Pakistan, we are happy.

Export to whom ?
Afghanistan - maybe
Iran ? - Iran does not look eager to import from Saudi refinery
Iraq ? -
India ? - it has largest refineries in the world with Saudi investment I may add

Failure of Balochistan govt.

Failure of Pakistan govt.

It's one country, it has one government. Foreign affairs and national security are still in the hands of the federal govt.

Source is pretty dubious (Japanese, hence anti-China) .
But if true, this is result of 10 terrorist attacks a week. Nobody will ever invest in Balochistan if this keeps on going, terrorism is unchecked, smuggling in unchecked, human trafficking is unchecked, who on earth will invest in such a place?
Doesn't matter if it's army of MoI, they've failed us. CPEC has been scuttled. Our enemies should rejoice.

it has nothing to do with Foreign Affairs, providing good environment for business is provincial responsibility to attract more investments.

we need to make more competition among provinces.

Yep its anti-China pro western bias. But anyway Gwadar infrastructure will be completed in 2-3 years. Even then main problem is terrorism. Saudis don't bet on Pakistan to solve that problem.

 

[Vapnope]

We have been hearing about this refinery for some years now. We'll see when it happens. Gwadar will remain a flagship project of China and Pakistan and i would like it to stay like that. Russians are also welcome to join.

 

[H!TchHiker]

Neither Karachi nor gawadwr this refinery project will remain in papers only..

Homeopathic approaches never work, either you go for the kill, or you don't, there's no in between.

abay is chaval kay paas kuch hay bhi ya nahi? I don't care if it's gwadar or karachi or freakin' toba teksing, let's see that $10 billion first, does the saudi crown prince even have it or is he just blowin' hot gas from his royal bunghole? he's promises of investments to Pakistan, China, india, even to the united states in electric auto industries, but nothing has materialized anywhere...

 

[Dalit]

Who wants to invest in a god forsaken place like Gwadar when you have 20 million folks in Karachi ?

Shut your mouth stupid Indian. Frankly the Saudis can shove their investment up their rear. We already have massive Chinese investment in Balochistan Gwadar. You think we give a shite about Saudis walking away LOL

100%. This source is anti-CPEC. Japanese are part of the quad. They favor Indian stance. This source is also heavily influenced by Indian and anti-Pak content writers. It has a history of BS anti-CPEC content. Much of it based on lies and fake news.
