This is a clear indication that Islamabad has a stake in the Chabahar port and has also designated it as the sister port of Gwadar, which would not only benefit bilateral trade between Iran, India and Afghanistan but it would also boost regional trade. Eminent CPEC expert Mushahid Hussain Sayed told Pakistan Today that Islamabad welcomes the launch of Chabahar port in neighbouring Iran. An official in the ministry of foreign affairs told Pakistan Today that in the near future, Chabahar would supplement Gwadar port in terms of regional and global trade. Gwadar port alone would not be able to meet the trade volume of the region in the near future. Therefore, Chabahar would supplement Gwadar port,” the official said.
