"Various mega development projects including in communication sector, dams, ports, health and education were initiated by the present government", he said while talking to students and cadets from Balochistan after the passing out parade of 115 PMA Long Course here at Pakistan Military Academy.
The President told the 61 students - who were specially flown from Quetta to Kakul to witness the passing out parade - that government was encouraging the participation of youth from Balochistan in every field including Pakistan Army.
"You should get inspiration from these 28 cadets from Balochistan who have passed out today from PMA", he remarked and added the government will provide all help and assistance in this respect. The President, who had frank exchange of views with the students from Balochistan however maintained that they should focus on education, especially the quality education.
The students from Balochistan, who were very enthusiastic to be so close to the President, asked various questions and vowed that they will focus on studies to secure an honour like those 28 cadets from Balochistan who achieved the privilege of joining Pakistan Army to serve the country and nation.
