AJK government, said the president, has made impressive strides in strengthening governance in all spheres, especially through merit-based appointments, finalization and execution of economic projects through transparent and rigorous professional processes.
He further said that with growing economic activity in AJK and implementation of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, infrastructure uplift and hydropower projects the need for vigilance, monitoring, evaluation and accountability has become ever more important.
