The Centre for Development and Stability (CDS) organized a seminar in Quetta titled “China-Pakistan Economic Corridor: Regional Connectivity, Innovation, and Security Perspective in Balochistan.”
Former caretaker Chief Minister of Balochistan, Mir Alauddin Marri, addressed the session via video link, while Provincial Minister Sardar Faisal Jamali, former Interior Minister Capt. (R) Mir Zubair Jamali, former Spokesperson of the Balochistan Government Babar Khan Yousafzai, Director General CDS Dr. Irfan Ashraf, Sardar Haroon Jamali, geopolitical analyst Raja Faisal, President of the Balochistan High Court Bar Association Attaullah Lango, Dr. Dost Baloch, journalist from Jhal Magsi Irshad Lashari, and Provincial President of Al-Khidmat Foundation Balochistan Jameel Ahmad Kurd also addressed the seminar.
The speakers emphasized that CPEC is a game-changing project not only for Pakistan but for the entire region. While the corridor offers countless opportunities, it also presents serious challenges that must be confronted collectively. The participants strongly asserted that the project must be protected and made successful—especially against the nefarious designs of the hostile nation, India.
The speakers highlighted the need for realism, collective thinking, and long-term strategic planning regarding CPEC. They also stressed the importance of raising awareness among the youth of Balochistan about the hybrid warfare being waged by India.
Participants reaffirmed their commitment to building a prosperous, united, and stable Pakistan from the platform of Balochistan.
