The book signifies the value of Gwadar Port as a geo-strategic manoeuvre placed in contemporary and vibrant Indo-Pacific region. Gwadar deep-sea port will play a vital role in blue diplomacy by influencing facets like economy, geo-politics and military. Geographically, it is situated at the confluence of Eurasian and Australian intercontinental plates in proximity to the African Peninsula. Gwadar Port is turning into a mosaic of various cultures by linking billions of people from Europe, Russia, Asia, China, Africa and Australia for trade and development. The deep-sea port is located at the mouth of hydrocarbon-rich Hormuz Strait, the most vital choke point in the Indo-Pacific region. Strategically, being part of String of Pearls, Gwadar will influence the extra-regional players for blue diplomacy. This book covers the demography of Gwadar and its linkages and concerns with Afghanistan, Central Asian republics, China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, Wakhan Corridor, extra-regional forces and Germany. Considering the facets like the location of Gwadar Port and its diplo-economic value, it will emerge as a regional trans-shipment port.
