ISLAMABAD: President Arif Alvi has stressed the need to start more development projects in Balochistan by prioritising investment in human resource development for the prosperity of the local people, his office said.
The media wing of the president’s office told Xinhua that Alvi held a meeting with a delegation from Balochistan and called for enhancing engagement with the people of Balochistan at the grassroots level and pushing economic growth by benefitting from the marine and land-based natural resources of the province.
The president said that Balochistan is a mineral-rich province and its natural resources can be fully developed by benchmarking the best global practices, discouraging corruption and corrupt practices, and utilising local human resources optimally with definite goals.
The president also urged the national and provincial political leadership to develop strong relationships with the people of the province through increased interactions and confidence building.
Alvi added that political stability, policy consistency, combatting corruption, strengthening institutional framework and focusing on skill development could lead the province towards rapid progress, development, and financial and socio-economic stability.
