Govt ready for dialogue with Balochistan political representatives, a statement that has drawn attention amid rising concerns in the province. Information Minister Talal Chaudhry emphasized that the government is willing to listen, resolve issues, and work with all stakeholders for the stability of Balochistan.
During a media briefing, Talal highlighted that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s government is focused on fostering unity through political engagement rather than confrontation. He said peace in Balochistan is directly linked to Pakistan’s overall security and economic progress.
The move comes shortly after the Army Chief’s visit to Turbat, where he reviewed security operations and reassured residents of the state’s commitment to safety and development. The government’s readiness for dialogue is being seen as part of broader efforts to bridge trust with the people of Balochistan.
In a related development, COAS General Asim Munir’s visit to Turbat highlighted the military’s support for long-term peace and development in the province. His meetings with local communities underscored the importance of dialogue, which aligns with the government’s political approach.
