The opening and development of Gwadar port is of great strategic significance. Gwadar is still a small fishing village just like Shenzhen in China 40 years ago. Compared with the current international hub port of Shenzhen, how to realize the great-leap-forward development of Gwadar port that benefits the two countries and regional development is the question raised in this paper? From the perspective of global supply chain management, this paper firstly reviews the dynamic of the relationship between the global supply chain management and port development at home and abroad, and introduces the development history and reference of Shenzhen port. On this basis, analyze the development environment and current situation of Gwadar port. From a perspective of global supply chain management, this paper discusses the opportunity of Gwadar port to get leap-forward development, including location geopolitics, freight logistics demand market analysis, complementary relationship of economy and trade, industrial development and policy, and investment and financing policies.
