He said the present government was not only spending funds on the development projects but on public as well.
He said completing CPEC projects was the top priority of the present government.
During our previous government, we were working hard to speed up the development process of Gwadar city, he said adding that we gave importance to higher education in Gwadar as if there is no education, there would not be development.

"We were hoping that these projects would be completed in two years but unfortunately they could not yet be completed".
He said the project of Islamabad Metro Bus also faced unnecessary delays of four years, but we made it operational within ten days after taking over the charge of the government.
