Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has said that his vision of development is rooted in uplifting the standards of living of the people.

In a tweet on Friday, the Prime Minister said it is their socio-economic well-being and welfare that forms the core of real development.

Shehbaz Sharif said Balochistan has been a victim of our collective neglect. The province has not progressed at par with other federating units, which is a shame.

He said the people of Balochistan have the first right on the resources of the province. When their lives and those of their children change for the better, they will own development and become a partaker in it. He also recalled the visits that he made to Balochistan during the devastating floods last year.

Referring to his Gwadar visit yesterday, the Prime Minister said we inaugurated and laid the foundation stone for a series of development, infrastructural and educational projects that will change the destiny of the region.

The Prime Minister said Pakistan's progress is linked to that of Balochistan.

Terming his meeting with the province's youth on the occasion of distribution of laptops a high point of the visit, he said their beaming faces reassured him that the future of Balochistan and Pakistan is in safe and responsible hands.
