Director General of Marine Fisheries Department Shazia said at an export policy awareness session for businessmen in Gwadar that the Marine Fisheries Department in Gwadar will facilitate timely laboratory processing of the export commodities, especially fish, to local traders.
“Thanks to the special efforts of Federal Secretary of Marine Affairs Matahar Niaz Rana for the promotion of commercial activities in Gwadar, practical steps have been started to ensure the provision of commercial facilities in Gwadar Port,” she said.
Shazia said the basic documents required by the industrialists for the export of fish from Gwadar Port should be processed in shortest possible time.

Appreciating the efforts of the Federal Marine Fisheries Department, the local businessmen said that for the first time in the country's history, commercial activities in the region have been boosted thanks to the partnership of local industrialists for the success of Pak-China relations and China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).
