Gwadar Port Free Zone

Updated:2017-04-20 | By:China.org.cn

Gwadar Port Free Zone

During Premier Li Keqiang’s visit to Pakistan in May 2013, China and Pakistan agreed to build a China-Pakistan economic corridor to promote energy and transportation infrastructure development, among other projects. During President Xi Jinping’s visit in April 2015, closer bilateral cooperation was again highlighted. A key element of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor and an essential component of the Gwadar Port development project, the free zone aims to improve trade logistics, facilitate processing trade, and promote warehousing and financial services.

A groundbreaking ceremony for the free zone was held on September 1, 2016. Attended by Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, it ushered in a new phase of the port development that includes the construction of an industrial park. The free zone will be modeled after the Shekou Industrial Zone in Shenzhen, China, comprising a port, an industrial park, and residential and business areas. The Pakistani government will grant tax exemptions to the zone, together with a land lease on preferential terms. Once completed, the free zone will significantly boost the development of Gwadar Port, and spur economic growth in Balochistan and the rest of Pakistan.

瓜达尔港自由区

2013年5月,在李克强总理出访巴基斯坦过程中,双方同意共同建设“中巴经济走廊”,涉及能源、交通基建等多个方面的合作。2015年4月,习近平主席出访巴基斯坦,进一步推进两国合作事宜。作为“中巴经济走廊”重点项目之一以及瓜达尔港开发项目的重要组成部分,瓜达尔港自由区将以港口为依托,重点发展商贸物流、加工贸易、仓储和金融等产业。该自由区奠基仪式于2016年9月1日举行,巴基斯坦总理谢里夫出席,这标志着瓜达尔港建设从港区朝着工业园区扩展,进入新的发展阶段。瓜达尔港自由区将沿用类似深圳蛇口的建设模式,形成一个包括“港口+园区+城区”的综合体。巴基斯坦方面将会在土地使用、税收等多个方面给予该自由区以优惠。建成后的瓜达尔港自由区将不仅仅发挥单纯的港口运输功能,围绕这一自由区将形成一整个工业园区以及相关的贸易、金融多个产业聚集区,不仅会极大地推动瓜达尔港加速开发,而且还将带动巴基斯坦俾路支省乃至全国的整体发展。
