Balochistan Chief Minister Dr Abdul Malik Baloch has called upon international organisations to help the government to improve education standards in the province. Speaking with Australia’s High Commissioner to Pakistan Paul Molloy Oam on Tuesday, the CM said the provincial government is focusing on raising standards by opening cadet colleges, residential and technical colleges in the province.

“Cooperation is needed to provide educational facilities to thousands of children in the province,” the CM said, adding that the prevalent negative view about law and order in the province is not accurate. Speaking on the occasion, Australia’s High Commissioner told the CM that Australia is interested in investing in mines and minerals in the province.
