Explanation

Gwadar Port is managed by China Overseas Port Holding Company (COPHC) based on an agreement with the Pakistani government. Although the Gwadar Port Authority retains ownership as a government entity, COPHC was contracted in 2013 to develop and operate the port. Under this agreement, the port remains the property of Pakistan, while COPHC handles its operations and receives 91% of the revenue, with the remaining 9% going to the Gwadar Port Authority. The port serves as Pakistan's first deep-sea port and plays a key role in regional trade and the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), offering strategic access near the Strait of Hormuz.
