CPT President Lt Gen (r) Asim Saleem Bajwa showed opportunities for improved connectivity under CPEC between Gwadar and the rest of the country. He said Gwadar will be connected to the rest of the country by a railway line, after completing Main Line-1 (ML-1), to take advantage of CPEC benefits. This improved connectivity also changes the socio-economic destiny of the country.
ML-1 CPEC & Railway Line – Detailed Overview
Asim Saleem Bajwa, President of CPEC Authority Lt Gen (retired), expressed interest in the establishment of several companies in the Gwadar Free Zone, of the Gulf region.
“The free area of the city, which covers 2400 hectares, has been extensively developed, not only for Chinese and local investors but also for the Gulf Zone,” he said in an interview with a YouTube channel.
He said the city and the port have made a lot of progress and recently. “we started building Gwadar airport with the help of the government of China, which gave $ 230 million for the project, ” he added. Regarding the proposed Gwadar Oil City, he stated that an area allocated for oil refining and oil storage is about 30 km away from the city near Pasni.
The president suggested that the port of Gwadar will run trains to the rest of the country after the completion of the railway upgrade program of Main Line 1 (ML-1). “To connect the port city to the rest of Pakistan and beyond, a new railway will be initiated from Quetta to Gwadar, ” says Bajwa.

Budgeting And Completion Of The Project
Bajwa, also Special Assistant to the Prime Minister for Information and Broadcasting, learned that CPEC’s largest project ever was ML-1.
Govt focused entirely on the growth and advancement of Balochistan to the western CPEC route.

Establishment of CPEC Authority
When asked if a CPEC authority can be created, the president said the government has realized that the scope of the CPEC project has not been extended, and he wanted to set up the authority to ensure all operations are completed at the same time.
