February 19, 2025 (MLN): Tajikistan may soon supply water to Balochistan, as a feasibility study for the project has been successfully completed with the support of the UAE government, President Asif Ali Zardari stated.

Speaking at the closing session of the International Conference on "Regional Connectivity and Pakistan: Emerging Opportunities" in Islamabad, he highlighted the pivotal role of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) and Gwadar Port in fostering regional trade and economic growth.

He emphasized that Pakistan's strategic location presents vast opportunities for enhancing regional trade, positioning the country as a "natural trade corridor" linking China, Central Asia, and the Middle East.

Stressing the long-term benefits of CPEC and Gwadar, he underscored the need to revitalize historic trade routes to strengthen economic and cultural ties across the region.

Balochistan Chief Minister Sarfraz Bugti described Gwadar Port as a beacon of hope and opportunity for the province's people, according to the press release.

Meanwhile, Ahmed Jarwan Al Mohammed, President of the UAE-based Global Council of Tolerance and Peace, commended Pakistan’s commitment to regional connectivity, calling for collective efforts to foster tolerance, education, and business cooperation.

These remarks were made by President Asif Ali Zardari.
