Besides announcing the setting-up of a cement factory in Dera Bugti, Mr. Rong said that officials from a Chinese company have come along which has been “very successful in planting chilies in Pakistan nearby Dera Bugti”.

Shah Zain Bugti, while welcoming the announcements made by the Chinese Ambassador, said “If the Chinese government invests in cement, it will create thousands of jobs”, adding “Of course, the residences of the locals will definitely transform from mud houses to new houses; they will have education facilities, health facilities, and much more”.

The Minister thanked the Chinese ambassador for coming to Balochistan and especially to Dera Bugti during this hard time.
