PAGE: Has Pakistan changed over the period of last seven decades?

Lal Dino Mari Baloch: Pakistan has seen many ups and downs in the past seven decades due to geopolitical problems. I would say Pakistan has learnt a lot from the past as a vast experience. Currently the nation has been educated and experienced due to previous ups and downs. Today each of single Pakistani is well aware about international scenario and local issues. Hence it is a plus point to lead the country towards a dynamic future. The youngsters and the students are the future of our country. Their vision is prosperous Pakistan and such vision is due to last seven decades of experiences. The current government has taken bold decisions and the country is moving on a right track. Bad patches happen even in developed countries but the people of Pakistan are sure now that the dynamic economic growth is there in the near future.

PAGE: Your views on the economic prosperity of Pakistan:

Lal Dino Mari Baloch: As I said earlier that Pakistan is on a right track now. Pakistan has initiated good ties with global powers. Security is the best vis-à-vis the previous years. Such positive initiatives by the Government of Pakistan have encouraged global powers and investors to avail the mega opportunities in different projects in Pakistan.

China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is one of the successful multi projects investment. Recently the investors trust has been built up and lots of delegations from various countries are visiting Pakistan. Such indicators show that economic prosperity of Pakistan will be result-oriented and Pakistan will be the regional economic power in the coming years.
