The government has decided to declare Gwadar a duty-free port, Federal Minister for Ports and

in this regard would be officially unveiled soon. Speaking as a chief guest at a seminar “Future

ships and other floating craft, the minister said that although the ports and shipping sector was faced with many issues, the country
was doing well with the development of new ports. However, he acknowledged that Pakistan’s shipping sector was lagging behind
other countries, particularly because of no participation from the private sector.
