People of Gwadar emerging as main beneficiaries of CPEC projects: Report
7 Oct, 2018

QUETTA - Chairman of the China Overseas Port Holding Company says that it has offered more than 2,000 jobs including a majority of the senior positions to local people since its operation in Gwadar.

Chairman and chief executive officer of the company, Zhang Bao Zhong in an interview in Beijing said majority of the senior positions are taken by the local people.

He said that in so doing they are following President Xi Jinping vision about China-Pakistan Economic Corridor according to which all people should benefit from CPEC .

The Chairman said a state of the art school, vocational training institute, 50-bed hospital and recruitment of a considerable number of locals in ongoing development projects are the benefits being offered to around twenty-six hundred thousand people of Gwadar.

He also criticized the last government for not taking care of the local people.

That's Good, local population must be given priority but Gawadar must try to attract skilled people from all over Pakistan to accelerate economic activity and growth. Instead of fearing becoming minority they should follow Dubai's modal.

So you think they should let millions in but not give them any 'resident' rights and have a system where they can be thrown out at the whim of the provincial government? UAE is cool with millions because they never or rarely give citizenship to the outsiders.

No, they can make laws where public sector jobs should be for people of Baluchistan and some %age of mandatory local employees if company's total strength is 20 or more. The little rich people should build properties and rent it out.

hope no DHA or Malik Riaz.... just or not, but local can't compete as per their level of investment... engaging local only assures safety and progress as they will not feel alien... else like 'kisan ka beta kisan hi banta ha' they will remain poor fisher man and deprived....

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

Next Month's Imran Khan / China's Historic visit should ensure the next phase of Gwadar starts

• Would be nice if Riko Diq Mining Project can be tied to CPEC
• Obviously the East/West route both will need to be updated

It is up to Pakistan Government to fast track Land purchase , China is moving at China Speed

 

[Goenitz]

I hope no one can buy land there but Pakistani... and make it totally gun free...no matter what, politician, foreign, no guns for security reason or decoration or for gaming of any sort... lease land to foreigners. even to dual nationality holders but don't let them buy..... fixed a local quota for buying land... amke it a mix society.... no room for one ethnic group majority.....

In Karachi despite much hype only around 25-30% of population is from other provinces. And that's your main port city. Sindh get extra Rs200b in budget because of them through NFC.
