Gwadar and Coastal Areas Key to Pakistan's Regional Connectivity: Governor Mandokhail


Balochistan Governor Jaffar Khan Mandokhail has underscored the vital importance of Gwadar and the province's other coastal areas, alongside its mineral-rich and agricultural regions, in driving Pakistan's economic development and enhancing regional connectivity.

Speaking at the concluding ceremony of the 21st National Workshop Balochistan held in Quetta, the Governor emphasised the need for joint and sustainable strategies to generate employment and skills-development opportunities for the province's youth. He called for concerted efforts to promote economic activity, strengthen social justice, and address prevailing economic instability.

Governor Mandokhail's remarks reflect the growing recognition of Balochistan's strategic significance, particularly Gwadar's position as a gateway to regional trade and a cornerstone of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). The Governor's emphasis on youth empowerment and sustainable development signals a forward-looking approach to harnessing the province's vast untapped potential for the benefit of both Balochistan and the nation at large.
