Pakistan purchased Gwadar from which country?

Oman is the correct answer. Pakistan purchased the Gwadar enclave from Oman in 1958 for 5.5 million pounds sterling. This acquisition was a significant geopolitical move, as Gwadar later developed into a strategically important deep-sea port, playing a crucial role in regional trade and connectivity, particularly with the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).

• China is a major investor and partner in the development of Gwadar Port, but Pakistan did not purchase Gwadar from China.
• Singapore has no historical or geographical connection to the purchase of Gwadar by Pakistan.
• The option "None of These" is incorrect as Oman is the specific country from which Gwadar was purchased.
