Turning to the risks posed by the law and order situation, he announced that the government would fully support domestic and foreign investors if they desired to invest in the province.
“In a bid to encourage investment, the government had declared Gwadar a special economic zone and the city’s port would be linked with the eastern Chinese port. The project has been named Pak-China Marine Silk Route”. He futher added.
