's Gwadar district, NDTV reported.

In June 2017, a Pentagon report had singled out Pakistain as a possible location for a future Chinese military base. The prediction came in a 97-page annual report to Congress that read: "China most likely will seek to establish additional military bases in countries with which it has a longstanding friendly relationship and similar strategic interests, such as Pakistain." China had categorically denied the report at the time.
