ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan vowed on Sunday to take action against illegal trawling in the waters off Pakistan’s Gwadar as protests by fishermen continue in the southwestern seaport.
Gwadar is in Pakistan’s impoverished southwestern province of Balochistan, a sparsely populated, mountainous, desert region bordering Afghanistan and Iran. China has been involved in the development of the Gwadar port on the Arabian Sea as part of a $60 billion China-Pakistan Economic Corridor under Beijing’s Belt and Road infrastructure project.
