Pakistani military advisers have approached US officials with a proposal to develop a port in Pasni on the Arabian Sea, aimed at accessing critical minerals in western Pakistan. This initiative follows high-level meetings between Pakistani leadership and President Trump, seeking American investment while explicitly excluding military use of the facilities. The plan focuses on commercial development and transportation infrastructure to connect mineral-rich regions to international markets.
