Pakistan's Baluchistan seeks foreign, local investment


Pakistan's Baluchistan province called on foreign and local investors to avail tremendous opportunities offered by the province in various sectors, local media reported on Tuesday.

Authorities are paying full attention to the health, education and developing infrastructure to pave the way for foreign and local investment in Baluchistan, said Balochistan Chief Minister Jam Mir Mohammad Yousuf while addressing an economic seminar on Monday, according to Pakistani newspaper DAWN.

"Baluchistan has identified health, education, mineral, livestock, agriculture etc., as potential sectors for making investment," Yousuf said.

The government is giving top priority to mega projects and socio-economic development of the province and is also implementing comprehensive policies to explore natural resources of the province, Yousuf added.

With the completion of Gwadar port, Baluchistan, bordering Iran and Afghanistan, and having long coastline all across the Arabian Sea, would prove to be the future's main gateway of Pakistan for boosting trade and economic ties with central Asian states and other countries of the region, he said.
