SIBBI: President Mamnoon Hussain on Sunday said the people of Balochistan and underprivileged areas would benefit most from the China Pakistan Economic Corridor. Addressing a festival here, he said: “It’s an undeniable fact that the people of Balochistan have the foremost right to the province. He assured that the province “will be protected”. He said the CPEC, besides bringing China and Pakistan closer, would also help uplift underprivileged areas in Pakistan and China. Denying rumours of changes in the CPEC route, he said: “The project is being executed as per its basic design.” Urging the youth to learn Chinese language, he said he had allocated an amount from the President House Fund for the establishment of a campus of the National University of Modern Languages (NUML) in Gwadar to teach Chinese language to Baloch youth.
