ISLAMABAD: The Pakistani government is contemplating amendments to its development framework to incorporate Azad Kashmir and Gilgit Baltistan into the national growth agenda, according to Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah.

During a recent press briefing, Sanaullah emphasized the importance of integrating these regions into the broader development narrative, stating, “We are committed to ensuring that Azad Kashmir and Gilgit Baltistan are not left behind in our journey towards progress and prosperity.” This initiative aims to enhance infrastructure, economic opportunities, and overall living standards in these areas.

The proposed amendments could have significant implications for the citizens of Azad Kashmir and Gilgit Baltistan, potentially leading to increased investment and improved public services. Analysts suggest that this move may also strengthen the political ties between the federal government and these regions, fostering a sense of inclusion and representation.

Looking ahead, the government plans to hold consultations with local stakeholders and experts to finalize the amendments. Further announcements are expected in the coming weeks as the administration seeks to outline a clear roadmap for development in these vital regions.
