Pakistan's Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Jawed Bajwa has said that the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) will lead to a new era of development in the region and the army is committed to completing this project as planned.
General Bajwa was addressing the passing out parade of newly recruited Baloch personnel in the Army.
Asserting Balochistan to be an integral part of Pakistan, General Bajwa said that the province's resources will open the new paths of development for people of the region in future.
He said that enemies want to hinder Balochistan's bright future as development in the region would ensure peace and stability in the country.
"I am extremely pleased that the people of Balochistan... have rejected all anti-Pakistan elements," the Dawn quoted General Bajwa, as saying.
