Gwadar Port will emerge as alternative avenues to business community: Zubair Motiwala.

KARACHI -- Pakistan-Afghanistan Joint Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PAJCCI), Chairman Muhammad Zubair Motiwala has lauded the operationalization of Gwadar Port and the first consignment arriving at this port destined for Afghanistan is a big breakthrough.

In a statement issued on Thursday, he urged the business community totake advantage of this newly developed alternative facility. However, shipping line deposits and detention, port demurrage free days, availability of proper scanning and custom operations will make a real difference in determining the impact.

He highly acknowledged the vision of Prime Minister Imran Khan, who is keenly focused on improving parameters for trade as a whole; especially transit regime with Afghanistan.
