The foreign minister declared, "The Dhabeji Special Economic Zone would be a public-private partnership project that ensures the economic and social development of the country. He noted that the project's goal was to establish a network of industries in Karachi. The project was designated as a special economic zone by the Board of Investment on June 22. It was a part of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor. The project, which spans 1,550 acres, will be built in two phases, with space for hundreds of industrial units.

The Sindh government has given land to the contractor/developer Zahid Khan & Brothers, and the contractor will not only develop the zone but will also pay the cost of the property to the provincial government. This project is being carried out using a public-private partnership model.
