The correct answer is option 1, Pakistan. Gwadar port is located in Pakistan. Gwadar is a port city on the southwestern coast of Balochistan, a province in Pakistan. It is strategically positioned on the Arabian Sea, near the border with Iran and the Strait of Hormuz. The port is being developed as part of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), a major infrastructure project between China and Pakistan. The aim of the project is to connect Gwadar port with China`s northwestern region, Xinjiang, through a network of highways, railways, and pipelines. Gwadar port is considered a significant trade route as it provides an alternative to the congested Strait of Hormuz, and it offers shorter shipping distances for many regions. The port has the potential to boost economic activity and trade for not only Pakistan but also other countries in the region.
