Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Wednesday announced Karachi and Gwadar would be linked by road and rail with Kashgar, China via Khunjrab to boost regional trade. In his maiden speech at the National Assembly after being elected as Prime Minister of Pakistan, Nawaz Sharif referred to his meeting with Chinese Premier Li Keqiang during latter’s recent visit to Pakistan in which they agreed to construct a rail track and road link from Kashgar to Gwadar, leading to Karachi. He said Chinese premier had asked him to constitute a task force for carrying out the feasibility of the projects and assured to form a similar team in China, so both the teams could work in cohesion. He lauded the handing over of Gwadar Port to China by previous government, which he said should be a free Port and have a special status. If the Port had not been handed over to China, we would not have been discussing this Port here, he remarked. dailytimes.pk/default.asp?page=201366story_6-6-2013_pg5_7
