“Gwadar port is a commercial port developed with the help of the Chinese government. Pakistan is handing over Gwadar port or any other place to any foreign entity,” Pakistan Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch.
The development comes days after the inauguration of the New Gwadar International Airport (NGIA) was postponed for the third time, reportedly due to ongoing security concerns in the region. The airport, which is a key part of the ambitious China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), was originally scheduled to begin operations on January 1, 2025, will now remain closed indefinitely, the Balochistan Post reported.
Meanwhile, experts believe the standoff over the port of Gwadar may simply be a ploy through Pakistan to blackmail China and Islamabad is seeking to build greater relations with the United States under the leadership of new President Donald Trump by denying Gwadar to Beijing.
As per Pakistani media reports, a high-level meeting was recently held between Pakistani and Chinese senior government and military officials where discussions and negotiations were held on the on the future use of the strategic Gwadar port. Reports said that Islamabad demanded Beijing to arm Pakistan with second-strike nuclear capability if China wants to build a military base in Gwadar.
However, this threatening tone reportedly did not go down well with Beijing, which categorically rejected Pakistan’s call to indefinitely postpone long-term nepastiations due to Islamabad’s surprising audacity.
The failure of diplomatic and military negotiations with China bodes well for Pakistan, as the cash-strapped country relies heavily on Beijing’s economic aid programs. In addition, China has long stockpiled the Pakistani armed forces and supplied them with the maximum of its weaponry.
