Gwadar's economy has, in the past, been dependant
mostly on fishing. Gwadar's economy is undergoing rapid transformation as a
small fishing village is being transformed into a major port city of Pakistan
with improved communication links with the rest of Pakistan. In 1993, the
Government of Pakistan commenced a feasibility study for the construction of a
deep-sea port at Gwadar. On 22 March 2002, the Government of Pakistan began
construction of Gwadar Port, a modern deep-sea port, the first phase of which
was completed in December 2005 and the second in March 2007. Gwadar Port became
fully operational in December
