🇺🇸🇵🇰⚡- Pakistan's Chief of Staff Asim Munir has offered the US the Port of Pasni in the Balochistan region, southern Pakistan. With Washington possibly investing $1.2 billion on the project.

The strategic port sits at the entrance to the Indian Ocean, and lies directly adjacent to China's Gwadar - which has only recently resumed operations due to the Baloch insurgency along Route N85 (the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor). Pasni will also counterweight the possible development of Iran's Chabahar, which China has recently shown interest in as a stable alternative to Gwadar.

Islamabad's offer comes after Tehran and Delhi signed a significant deal, opening a trade corridor between India and the energy giant Uzbekistan.

Munir has also offered the US a major rare earth metals deal, with access to resource-rich areas inland from Pasni, such as the massive Reko Diq fields (at 28.97191, 62.43301).
