Senator Lt. Gen.(Rtd) General Abdul Qayyum Thursday said that shipyards play an important role in economic turnaround of nations and pave the way for growth and prosperity.
He expressed these views while chairing an important meeting of the Senate Standing Committee on Defence Production.

He said that KS&EW  played a major role in transferring of technologies and broadening the industrial base of the country. He said that KS&EW is a profitable organization and meets all the expenses from self-generated income. He said that so far over 445 vessels of different sizes and repaired more than 5000 vessels for local and international customers.
The Committee observed that early completion of Gawadar shipyard would generate more employment opportunities and would leave positive impacts on nation’s economy.

Regarding integration with CPEC, he informed the committee that government’s vision of CPEC will completely change the dynamics and trade will be carried through maritime routes and construction of more shipyards would synergize the maritime activity.
He said that it will ensure the operational availability of Gawadar port for repair and maintenance.
