Gwadar port will be game-changer for people of Balochistan: PM

Balochistan Chief Minister Sardar Sanaullah Zehri calls on Premier Nawaz at PM House

ISLAMABAD: Gwadar port will prove to be a game-changer for the people of Balochistan and the region, said Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.

“Gwadar port alone has the potential to change the lives of the people of Balochistan and the region,” PM Nawaz remarked during his meeting with Balochistan Chief Minister Sardar Sanaullah Zehri who called on him at PM House Saturday morning.

The major development initiatives of our government will empower Balochistan's people to fully realise their potential in all spheres of life, the premier added.



“I am personally monitoring the pace of the ongoing projects and schemes in Balochistan. My government is pursuing the agenda of progress and development across the country,” said PM Nawaz.

Informing the prime minister about the progress made on various developmental projects and welfare initiatives undertaken by the provincial government, the chief minister said, “The uplift and welfare projects are executed with renewed spirits and energies after the improved security situation in the province.”



While praising the premier for prioritising uplift schemes in the province, Sanaullah Zehri said that old deprivations of the people are aptly addressed through the federal government’s major initiatives in the province.

PM Nawaz further said that his government’s vision of transforming Pakistan into a truly developed state is not possible without the progress and development in all federating units of the country. “All provinces have equal rights over the country’s resources and it is our duty to ensure its fair distribution among all including Fata and G-B.”
