The Government of Balochistan is working for proven, progressive and world-class mechanism of public-private partnership adapted by many countries and has yielded socio-economic gains the world over.
This was stated by Rafiullah Kakar, Director, High-Powered Strategic Planning and Reforms Cell (SPRC) Government of Balochistan who along with team of his officers, visited Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI) here Friday.
He gave a detailed presentation to FPCCI officials, office bearers and prominent business leaders. He said that the Balochistan Government had an across the board consensus that the way forward for an inclusive, egalitarian, fast-track and sustainable economic and commercial development of the province is only possible through PPP under the best mechanism.
Former vice president FPCCI Engr. M.A. Jabbar acknowledged that PPP programs could play vital role not only in developing the economic, social and commercial infrastructure but by the means of educating and empowering the masses through creating enormous employment opportunities on a continuing basis. He said ingenuity, indigenous nature and local ownership make the progress sustainable and socially uplifting.

FPCCI’s former vice president Sultan Rehman expressed his optimism that business community would be able to come up with the proposals that could be effectively materialized in the short-term from one to three years. —APP
