Pakistan has given the green light to Russia to use the Gwadar Port for its exports as part of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).
Following Iran and Turkmenistan, Russia has decided to use the Gwadar Port for trade to have an access to warm waters, a top official privy to the development told Geo News.
In addition, Russia aspires to develop strategic defence ties with Pakistan, Geo News reported.
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif said that many countries wanted to join CPEC as half of the world would benefit from the project.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
