\nOn this occasion, the Provincial Minister expressed his gratitude to the UNO and friendly countries for the generous financial support and assistance in every difficult hour including natural disasters and to speed up the development process in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. He clarified that keeping regional and political expediencies above all else, the international community and friendly countries extended whole hearted assistance to KP government in gearing up its development speed and rehabilitation of the affectees in backdrop of the recent devastating floods in the province. \u201cwe value the generous support of the world extended to the government and people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on this critical juncture \u201c, he added.
\nFaisal Amin Gandapur kept on saying that the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government was facing a major challenge in recent days in shape of flood disasters and herculean task of permanent rehabilitation of the victims, which has become the top priority of his government.
\nHe said that the provincial government was fighting this natural calamity with full courage and is dealing with the challenge of rescue, relief and permanent rehabilitation of the victims in wake of its past experiences and we felt proud that our efforts have been recognized and appreciated at the international level.
