RECENTLY a cabinet meeting was held on a ship offshore Gwadar. According to media reports, it cost a huge amount of money and was criticised.

True this act of holding the cabinet meeting offshore Gwadar was expensive, but it was a brilliant idea.

It emphasised the fact that the government intends to give considerable importance to bring the port in operation, thereby attracting the attention of shippers.

It highly pacified the people of Gwadar.

It also boosted the dwindling confidence of real estate investors, both intending and old ones.
