PM Shehbaz Sets 2028 Target for Reko Diq–Gwadar Rail Link
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has set 2028 as the target to establish a direct rail link between Reko Diq and Gwadar Port, calling it a game-changer for Pakistan’s mineral and trade sectors. The strategic railway is expected to lower transport costs, shorten travel time, and connect local resources to global markets. The PM urged fast-tracking of surveys and infrastructure planning while highlighting job creation, sustainable development, and private sector collaboration. The project is poised to transform Balochistan and boost national exports once Reko Diq enters production.
