The Gwadar Purchase (Urdu: گوادر کا حصول, lit. 'Acquisition of Gwadar') was the acquisition of the territory of Gwadar by Pakistan from the Sultanate of Oman in 1958. Pakistan was able to acquire 15,210 square kilometres (5,870 sq mi) of land on the coast of Balochistan for around Rs 5.5 billion (or 2 billion US dollars today), paid mostly by Aga Khan IV.
The deal was made with the efforts of Prime Minister of Pakistan Feroz Khan Noon and Said bin Taimur, the Sultan of Oman, and Pakistan was able to purchase the land on 8 September 1958, and it officially became a part of Pakistan on 8 December 1958.[1][2]
