The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) Media Forum Balochistan Initiative was launched on to equip the journalists in underdeveloped areas of Balochistan with information of the Chinese investment in the region and its positive impacts. In an exclusive interview with Gwadar Pro, Caretaker Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Murtaza Solangi said that the CPEC Media Forum Balochistan Initiative will equip the local journalists of Balochistan with the right information about CPEC projects.
He said, “CPEC starts from Gilgit-Baltistan to Gwadar, and it cannot be completed without the development of Balochistan, especially Gwadar. We should encourage more journalists to join the media industry especially focusing on the region’s developmental projects and will give them the right information to encounter the negative propaganda against the corridor.”
On asking about the availability of media education at the University of Gwadar one of the University students Samaa who was present at the forum told the correspondent that journalism has not been introduced at Gwadar University as yet, and introducing media education at the university level will help youth play their role in this field.
