KP CM Pervaiz Khattak ‘annoyed’ with federal govt

PESHAWAR: The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) chief minister on Monday expressed reservations over the federal government's refusal to grant security clearance to Chinese investors coming to the province.

"I will personally approach the centre to address this issue," Pervaiz Khattak said while chairing a meeting.

Pervaiz Khattak directed officials to contact the federal authorities once again to get security clearance for the Chinese investors coming to the province for the signing of a memoranda of understanding (MoUs).

"The development of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa will directly lead to prosperity of FATA and the entire country," he said.

The progress on the MoUs signed with foreign investment in education, health, tourism, agriculture, mines, minerals, energy and transport was also reviewed.

Khattak also underlined the need for ensuring adequate facilities of security, health, hygiene and other civic amenities under safe city and small city policies of the provincial government.
