China–Pakistan Maritime Cooperation in the Indian Ocean

Abstract: This paper argues that during the last two decades, China and Pakistan have strengthened their maritime cooperation in the Indian Ocean to their mutual benefit.

The rapid expansion of the residential area of Karachi city has created physical space limitations for Karachi port; therefore, expansion plans cannot keep pace with the rise in demand (Ali, 2019). On the other hand, port Qasim has no space limitations; however, the upstream location of this port 40km away from the open sea; increases the turnaround time for ships and hampers further development of the port.…”
