| Then his lips fell off, his tongue turned to ash and the wind swept it away. He did keep his hat on, though. |
Afghan refugees: He said the presence of a large number of Afghan refugees in the province was posing law and order and economic problems for the government. The government desires their honourable return to their homeland, Jam added.
He said the government was working for the development of the province and making good use of its coastal and natural resources. He said foreign investment in the mineral sector was being encouraged. The Gwadar industrial estate project will help promote industrial and commercial activities in the province, he added. He said assistance from friendly countries and international agencies for the rehabilitation of flood- affected people would be welcomed. The US consul general praised Pakistan for fighting terrorism. She said she would advise US investors to invest in Balochistan.
