The SEZ is spread over 1,000 acres and is part of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). Memon also said that pharmaceutical, chemical, steel and textile manufacturing units have so far been planned in the area.
"Dhabeji SEZ would be a model for Pak-China industrial cooperation and would be a big success story for both countries," she re-affirmed, adding that over 100,000 direct and indirect jobs are expected to be created from it.
Highlighting Karachi's importance as a consumer hub, Memon said that the sprawling metropolis will be a major market for goods produced in the Dhabeji SEZ.
