He said the youth of Balochistan deserve more attention if national and international institutions want to see micro level Socio-economic development in the province.
The commercial institutions like banks should draw strategy which should include national interests and balance among federating units of the country.
He has impressed upon UNDP and JS Bank to include the province of Balochistan in the program for youth empowerment hence motivating micro-entrepreneurs for putting their share in the development of the country and the province.
He also expressed his concern about the seriousness of federal and provincial governments who do not monitor such agreements.
