Islamabad, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif emphasized the welfare of Balochistan’s people as a top priority for his government. During a key meeting on the affairs of Balochistan province held in Islamabad, he detailed federal commitments to support the region’s development and prosperity in collaboration with the provincial government.
According to Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, Prime Minister Sharif discussed various initiatives aimed at enhancing Balochistan’s infrastructure and quality of life.
