Great Idea but years old one. I loathe these understandings, agreements & MoUs now, let us get going now...

The iron is hot, strike, pull up the coup before another gateway surfaces. Exploit!
 
great news but now i want something beyond Willingness.

Come on Pakistan - complete the Gawadar project and build all the necessary roads and railway tracks. Its already too late
