The agreement was finalized by the Sindh Economic Zones Management Company CEO Abdul Azeem Uqaili, ZKB CEO Mohabat Khan, and Cheng Qiang of PowerChina International, with strategic backing from China’s National Development and Reform Commission.

Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah called the project a landmark in industrial cooperation during the signing ceremony. Developed under the Public-Private Partnership model, the Dhabeji SEZ offers unmatched connectivity to Karachi’s ports and regional trade routes, making it a cornerstone of economic viability under CPEC.

This zone aims to attract domestic and foreign investments, particularly from Chinese firms, to foster industrial growth, reduce import dependency, and enhance exports. Chief Minister Shah highlighted that the Dhabeji SEZ could redefine Pakistan’s economic future by promoting self-reliance and sustainable growth.
