It has an important status, as it is the energy-rich Central Asian states and the Gulf States on the one hand and the South and East Asian states on the other. Pakistan has adopted the concept in its letters and spirit in 1980 and since then has been successful in expanding zones across the country. The first project of Export Processing Zones Authority (EPZA) was set up on an area of ??210 acres in Karachi which was later expanded to 94 acres. All these areas have been colonized. EPZA is now working with the Government of Pakistan to expand the Karachi EPZA.
