Gwadar needs to have massive sized warehouses so it can be the staging post for Pakistani goods to Africa and middle East for inward and outward goods. We need to setup Alibabas and Amazons ASAP.
 
its high time govt or NGOs do something to educate and open vocational and technical training institute in Gwadar and nearby cities so that the jobs here can be filled by locals and increase their standards.
