It will be a treat for adventure loving Pakistanis to explore the lengths and breadths of Pakistan's hidden places especially in Baluchistan. The beauty of Pakistan is yet to be explored.

Tourism industry will earn multi-billion dollars monthly after completion of this project. A promising future awaiting for Pakistan. But as a nation, collectively we have to do astaghfar and stop corruption. Corruption is our biggest enemy.

 

[PAKISTANFOREVER]

Excellent development. This will further strengthen the bond and connection between Pakistan and China. This will also help boost the economic activities all over Pakistan and promote local industries.
