QUETTA: The Baloch­istan government on Wednesday expressed its desire to partner up with private companies for investment in the province.

In a meeting with MRDL Saindak President Wang Jicheng and Chairman HeXuping in Quetta, Chief Minister Balochistan Jam Kamal Khan Alyani said:

"We are committed to inking agreements with private firms by leading bilateral matters in a conducive way as many international mining companies have been showing interest to do business with the provincial government."

Furthermore, expansion of the Saindak project was discussed. He also briefed the Chinese regarding provincial Mineral Policy 2019, saying it would help foreign companies in knowing the clear stance of provincial government.

He reiterated provincial partnership in all mineral, oil and gas projects in Baloc­h­istan.

Failure of development projects in Baluchistan are due to the eagerness of the provincial government officials in getting their personal gains at any ridiculous cost to the state. The only solution is in transfer of all national resources and their exploitation to the Federal Government, where suitable representations of the provinces must be ensured.
