Peshawar:
Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, Ali Amin Gandapur, said instability in Afghanistan and order in the province. He stressed that sustainable peace requires a dialogue with Kabul.
“Our armed forces, our police officers and our people have made huge sacrifices to eliminate terrorism. We salute the martyrs who have put their lives for peace,” he said, adding: “For a long-term solution, negotiations with Afghanistan are necessary, and it is encouraging that the federal government agrees with my proposal in this regard.”
He expressed these points of view while addressing participants in the 26th national security and war court under the National Defense University, who visited the house of chief, Peshawar on Friday.

The interim inspector general of the police, as well as the senior officials of the planning and development and financing services, also attended Reunion. During the interaction, the delegation was informed of the provincial administration, financial management, development programs and security measures.
Stressing the province’s challenges and opportunities, Gandapur said: “KP is rich in natural resources, but previous governments have failed to use them effectively. When we assumed the functions, the province was in the grip of financial and serious security challenges. Since the first day, we have adopted a model of economic self-relentlessness and invested massively in the sectors with great growth potential. ”
The chief minister said the provincial government, thanks to strict budgetary discipline, had generated billions of additional income in the last 19 months. He underlined the immense hydroelectric capacity of KP, noting that the government is working to exploit this energy for industrial development.

On the issue of Afghan refugees, Gandapur noted that KP has welcomed them for decades, but their repatriation is a federal affair. However, he pointed out that the process should be carried out with dignity and care.
