Islamabad: Pakistan has activated new overland trade corridors into Iran as disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz continue to affect global maritime shipping. The initiative allows cargo and transit goods to move through land routes, providing an alternative to congested sea channels. This development under the Investment, International Real Estate & Global Cooperation Cluster highlights Pakistan’s growing role in regional trade connectivity and logistics. With global vessels avoiding key chokepoints, these land corridors could stabilize supply chains and improve trade efficiency. For Lahore and Punjab businesses, this may open new import-export opportunities and reduce dependency on sea routes. Will this shift reshape regional trade dynamics? Can Pakistan benefit from this strategic position?
