QUETTA Balochistan Chief Minister Nawab Aslam Raisani said on Wednesday that a peaceful and stable Pakistan was necessary not only for peace in the region but also peace in the world.

During a meeting with the military attaché of British High Commission, Charles Sattorini, the chief minister said “Peace in Pakistan is linked to peace in Afghanistan.”

Mr Raisani discussed with the British official various issues relating to war against terrorism. He said Pakistan was playing an important role in the war and had rendered great sacrifices.

He said Pakistan's economy had been affected adversely by its worst floods, adding that the country needed help and cooperation from the international community.

He said that Pakistan wanted peace in the region.

Talking about supply of goods to Nato and foreign forces in Afghanistan, Mr Raisani offered the use of Gwadar port, adding that this would promote economic activity in the province.

He said despite limited resources, the provincial government was trying to provide security to Nato vehicles. “If Nato and Isaf provide training and equipment to police and Levies personnel in Balochistan we can produce better results,” he added.
