Gwadar--Where is it going? (Urdu)

Gwadar has been a chimera for Pakistan for long. For 15 years it has been hyped up. A port was built. A city was laid out. Highways built. The promise of a deep-water port which will be gate for central Asia through Pakistan. The debate has been long and costly. Returns still awaited. 

Now with CPEC Gwadar is again being held up as important for Pakistan’s future.

We will talk to Naveed Iftikhar on his research into Gwadar to discuss

• What was the promise of Gwadar?
• Why has it not taken off?
• What were the mistakes?
• What is the promise?
• How can it be made to work?

Listen to this and let us reinvigorate research and debate into change.
