Preserving Gwadar beaches

ANYONE desiring warm sun, sparkling sand, balmy breeze and clear blue waters may not find anything better than Gwadar`s golden beaches.

Visitors to this largely unadulterated landscape are awestruck with its pristine beauty and the natural grandeur that surrounds the spectacle of Balochistan`s desert merging with the Arabian Sea`s greenish-blue water.

Even as it is fast emerging as the future hub of communication, linking Central Asia with warm waters, Gwadar bears tremendous potential for tourism, offering opportunities for water sports, swimming, fishing or even plain sea gazing.

As one looks at the potential oftourism for Gwadar`s beaches, there emerges a pressing need for maintaining a clean waterfront which can attract tourists.

Beaches are unspoiled as of now, there are some trash bins installed at some most scenic of the spots but the clutter left by the limited tourists needs to be looked after. Visitors are not aware of how to conduct themselves with restraint and discipline. Commercial ventures pay little attention to the impact of careless disposal of garbage on the ecology of Gwadar.

Unless we involve the public, the contamination and littering of beaches is but a fait accompli.During a recent visit it was heartening to find young students and teachers from the local Bahria Model School, duly armed with rakes and other implements, combing the water front and picking up, with great enthusiasm, the stray garbage strewn on the beautiful beaches.

Nothing could have been more educative and inspiring than seeing these youngsters setting an example for their elders by wholeheartedly involving themselves in preserving the great natural treasure that nature has bestowed upon our beautiful country.

Zardari offers Gwadar port facilities to Tajikistan

ISLAMABAD - President Asif Ali Zardari has said that Pakistan and Tajikistan need to work closely on infrastructure, energy connectivity and trans-regional economic cooperation projects such as CASA-1000.

This he said during his meeting with the Ambassador of the Republic of Tajikistan to Pakistan Zubaydullo N. Zubaydov here at Aiwan-e-Sadr on Thursday. Bilateral relations between the two countries and the progress on various mutually agreed projects were discussed during the meeting.

The President thanked President Emomali Rahmon for extending invitation to attend the Navroz festival in Dushanbe.
He said that Pakistan attaches high importance to further strengthen its close fraternal relations and partnership with Tajikistan.

He said that the two countries being important regional players need to enhance consultation and coordination to promote peace and stability in the region.

The President also emphasised upon the need to focus on enhancing bilateral trade volume which was showing upward positive trend yet was far below its potential.

He said that Pakistani ports provide the shortest access to the Tajik goods and Pakistan was ready to provide access to Tajikistan to Gwadar Port for its international trade. He said that Afghanistan-Pakistan Transit Trade Agreement has added opportunities for trade linkages between the two countries.

Pakistan, the President said, was willing to discuss conclusion of a Trilateral Transit Trade Agreement to facilitate transit of goods to and from Tajikistan.

The President also underscored the need for the two countries to explore possibilities of Preferential Trade Arrangements and to operationalise ECO Trade Agreement (ECOTA). Tajik Ambassador thanked the President for meeting and said that Tajikistan was also eager to enhance multi-faceted partnership with Pakistan for the mutual benefit of the two countries.
