QUETTA, Nov 07 (APP): Vice Chairman of the Balochistan Board of Investment, Bilal Khan Kakar on Friday said that Balochistan, owing to its strategic geographic location, abundant natural resources, and emerging infrastructure, has the full potential to become a gateway for trade and investment in the region.
The establishment of a Business Facilitation Center (BFC) in Quetta will provide investors with all necessary services from relevant departments under one roof (one-window operation).
Bilal Kakar expressed these views while addressing a meeting of the Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI), chaired by FPCCI President Atif Ikram Sheikh. Prominent businessmen including Aqeel Karim Dhedhi, Mian Zahid Hussain, and Zubair Tufail were also present on the occasion.
The participants discussed business and investment opportunities in Balochistan, focusing in detail on the province’s potential in mining, energy, tourism, transport, infrastructure, and agriculture sectors.
The meeting emphasized the need to transform Balochistan into an economic hub, highlighting the importance of investor facilitation, improved infrastructure, security, regulatory reforms, and public-private partnerships for major development projects.
Bilal Kakar noted that the Government of Balochistan is taking a historic step by establishing the Business Facilitation Center, which would provide all necessary departmental services to investors through a one-window system. This initiative, he said, would not only save time and resources but also enhance business confidence.
He further added that the government is not only providing facilities for investors but also focusing on empowering local youth through skill development and entrepreneurial opportunities.
