Twenty years of foreign investment turned a town on Pakistan’s coast into a huge port, which fishers say has made their lives far harder.

In April 2026, Malaysia began enforcing an absolute ban on e-waste imports, having previously been one of the main recipients of imported electrical and electronic waste.

Laotian authorities say they’ve seized illegal wildlife products and launched investigations, but conservation groups argue enforcement remains too limited to disrupt the broader network.

Pakistan's once sleepy port now has options. It could reinvent itself into an oil hub, a trade gateway or a clean-energy powerhouse.
