Asad Qaisar said that establishment of hospitals, educational institutions, strengthening of institutions and creating the opportunity of jobs in tribal districts were among the topmost priority of the incumbent government.

He said the nation would not forget the sacrifices of tribal people for the country during the war on terror and it would be written in golden words. He said that the new era of development and prosperity would be started in erstwhile FATA.

He said the economy that was affected by terrorism would be augmented after completion of China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) and that two million youth would get jobs in the Rashaki Economic Zone.
