\nParticipants also agreed to accelerate progress on previously approved measures aimed at strengthening the police force.
\nThe interior ministry assured the Balochistan government of its full cooperation in providing the resources required to improve the province\u2019s security infrastructure.
\nInterior Minister Naqvi said that the federal government would continue extending every possible support to ensure sustainable peace in Balochistan.
\nHe emphasised that the immediate and effective implementation of the province\u2019s peace restoration master plan was the need of the hour.
\nNaqvi also stressed that the government\u2019s security strategy should benefit from the experience and expertise of former Balochistan police chiefs, saying that modern technology, enhanced intelligence capabilities, and a coordinated operational approach were indispensable in the fight against terrorism.
\nAccording to the security czar, the federal and provincial governments were moving forward with complete unity and coordination to establish lasting peace.
\nHe asserted that collective efforts would strengthen the state\u2019s ability to counter evolving security challenges.<\/p>\n
\u2018State\u2019s writ to be enforced\u2019
\nThe Balochistan chief executive reaffirmed the provincial government\u2019s resolve to remain ahead of terrorist elements on every front, saying that no pressure would deter the state\u2019s campaign against terrorism.
\nHe said the writ of the state would be enforced at all costs and that there would be no space for terrorists in Balochistan.
\nCM Bugti maintained that creating opportunities for young people through education, skills development, employment, and positive engagement remained one of the government\u2019s highest priorities.
\nThe chief minister added that promoting meritocracy was essential to restoring the confidence of the youth and ensuring equal opportunities for their advancement.
\nHe emphasised that peace, development, and prosperity were closely interconnected and pledged that the provincial government would continue making simultaneous progress on both security and development.
\nThe implementation of peace initiatives and development projects across Balochistan would be further accelerated with the continued support of the federal government, he concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
