  • A China-Pakistan Base Deal Could Put Iran on the Back Foot | the Washington Institute
    MENU Policy Analysis / PolicyWatch 2948 A China-Pakistan Base Deal Could Put Iran on the Back Foot by Farzin Nadimi Mar 27, 2018 Also available in Arabic ABOUT THE AUTHORS Farzin Nadimi Farzin Nadimi, an associate fellow with The Washington Institute, is a Washington-based analyst specializing in the security and defense affairs of Iran and the Persian Gulf region. Brief Analysis Beijing's economic project in Gwadar Port and planned military presence in the Jiwani peninsula may wind up redrawing the region's geopolitical map. ccording to the Washington Times and other sources, China plans to build a naval and air base on Pakistan's A southwestern Jiwani Bay, just across the border from Iran and nearly 500 kilometers from the Strait of Hormuz. About 60 kilometers east of Jiwani is Gwadar, where Beijing is developing a massive commercial port at the end of its China-Pakistan Economic Corridor. While Chinese officials have kept silent about the Jiwani reports since they first emerged in January, Pakistan dismissed them as "propaganda" aimed at discrediting the corridor project. Yet the alleged plans follow the pattern of other Chinese military activities in the region, raising concerns in India, Iran, and elsewhere. STRATEGIC RATIONALE BEHIND THE MOVES I n 2015, Beijing released a military white paper outlining a new policy of "active defense," which envisioned Chinese armed forces assuming a more global role in order to protect the country's interests overseas. These interests include the steady flow of Middle Eastern oil—in 2016, China imported 7.6 million barrels of crude per day, more than 70 percent of which came from the Persian Gulf.

The paper finds that the geopolitical significance of the region and geo-strategic vested interests of the regional and extra-regional powers have enticed and stimulated the conflict to be sharpened. The paper also addressed the question that why Armenian and Azeri regimes failed to design a bilateral mechanism that could resolve the conflict with collective efforts, deny the foreign intervention and encouraged bilateral economic and political cooperation. The paper is qualitative in nature which explored and investigated different historical events, facts and incidents of Nagorno-Karabakh in order to find out its regional geo- political impacts on the region at large. The paper also tried to find out a way-forward that could address the issue via political and diplomatic means.

  • MARITIME TOURISM: GLOBAL SUCCESS STORIES and the CASE of PAKISTAN Naureen Fatima1 Muhammad Akhtar2
    MARITIME TOURISM: GLOBAL SUCCESS STORIES AND THE CASE OF PAKISTAN Naureen Fatima1 Muhammad Akhtar2 Abstract The coastal / maritime tourism is an important segment in a multi-trillion dollars and multivariate global tourism industry. It offers one of the new avenues and fastest growing areas for significant role in global economies. Various countries such as Maldives, Indian State of Kerala, Singapore and Thailand etc. have focused on maritime tourism with good governance practices evolved over period of time to earn substantial revenues from it. Pakistan has also immense maritime tourism potential with diversified natural, religious, and cultural tourism resources. But Pakistan’s maritime tourism is considered very weak due to various issues. With qualitative research, this paper attempts to explore and suggest solutions for the development of maritime tourism sector of Pakistan by analysing the tourism governance of global success stories and evaluating the nationwide potential and challenges. Arguments are developed that the factors behind the success stories of Maldives & Kerala state in India can act as guidance for taking initiatives on the proposed potential sites in order to uplift the maritime tourism sector in Pakistan. It is anticipated that the effective implementation of this paper’s recommendations would be instrumental in gearing up Pakistan’s Maritime economy. Keywords: Coastal, Maritime, Maldives, Kerala, Tourism governance, Success stories, Potential sites Naureen Fatima is a Researcher- Maritime Tourism & Coastal Livelihoods at National Institute of Maritime Affairs (NIMA) reachable at [email protected] Muhammad Akhtar is Deputy Director at NCMPR Karachi reachable at [email protected] 2 Naureen Fatima, Muhammad Akhtar Introduction In this modern era, tourism has now grown to a multi-trillion dollars and multivariate trade activity across the globe.

  • Hydel Power Potential of Pakistan 15
    Foreword God has blessed Pakistan with a tremendous hydel potential of more than 40,000 MW. However, only 15% of the hydroelectric potential has been harnessed so far. The remaining untapped potential, if properly exploited, can effectively meet Pakistan’s ever-increasing demand for electricity in a cost-effective way. To exploit Pakistan’s hydel resource productively, huge investments are necessary, which our economy cannot afford except at the expense of social sector spending. Considering the limitations and financial constraints of the public sector, the Government of Pakistan announced its “Policy for Power Generation Projects 2002” package for attracting overseas investment, and to facilitate tapping the domestic capital market to raise local financing for power projects. The main characteristics of this package are internationally competitive terms, an attractive framework for domestic investors, simplification of procedures, and steps to create and encourage a domestic corporate debt securities market. In order to facilitate prospective investors, the Private Power & Infrastructure Board has prepared a report titled “Pakistan Hydel Power Potential”, which provides comprehensive information on hydel projects in Pakistan. The report covers projects merely identified, projects with feasibility studies completed or in progress, projects under implementation by the public sector or the private sector, and projects in operation. Today, Pakistan offers a secure, politically stable investment environment which is moving towards deregulation

  • SC 67A CMP 05 Arabian Sea Humpback and Baleen Whale
    Arabian Humpback and Baleen Whale sightings along the Pakistan Coast: Information Generated Through WWF Pakistan’s Fishing Crew Observer Programme Muhammad Moazzam and Rab Nawaz WWF-Pakistan, 46-K, PECHS, Block 6, Karachi 75400, Pakistan ([email protected]) ABSTRACT Historical records and Soviet whaling data indicate the presence of baleen whales off the coast of Pakistan up to 1965, but since then only a handful of strandings and opportunistic sightings confirm their ongoing presence in the region. Between 2012 and 2016, observations of free- swimming and entangled whales were recorded by fishing vessel crew members trained under a bycatch observer scheme coordinated by WWF Pakistan. The scheme, which started with two observers in 2012, now involves 75 participating vessels. Reported baleen whale observations increased from none in 2012, to 16 in 2015. In 2016, 47 sightings of baleen whales were recorded, including 12 confirmed sightings of Arabian Sea humpback whales, three sightings of Bryde’s and 32 sightings of baleen whales that could not be identified to species level due to lack of adequate photographic or video evidence. Sightings reported from 2012 through 2016 are summarized and plotted, providing insight into the current distribution of Arabian Sea humpback whales and other baleen whale species in the region. The authors recommend the continuation of the programme, and suggest that it could serve as a useful model for crew-based reporting schemes in a region where dedicated cetacean surveys are difficult to conduct, but fisheries are widespread and active. INTRODUCTION Both baleen and toothed whales have been frequently reported from Pakistani waters.
