PM Shahbaz & Iranian President to inaugurate Polan-Gabd Electricity Transmission Line today

Islamabad: Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif will undertake joint inauguration of Mand-Pishin Border Sustenance Marketplace and Polan-Gabd Electricity Transmission Line with the President of Iran, Seyed Ebrahim Raisi, at Mand-Pishin border crossing point by today (Thursday).

One of the six border markets to be constructed along the Pak-Iran common border, the Mand-Pishin Border Sustenance Marketplace will provide a thriving platform for increasing cross-border trade, fostering economic growth and opening up new avenues of opportunity for local businesses. The Polan-Gabd Electricity Transmission Line plays a pivotal role in meeting the energy needs of the region, including households and businesses, by bringing-in additional 100 MW electricity from Iran.

The joint inauguration is a manifestation of the strong commitment of Pakistan and Iran to uplift welfare of residents of the neighboring provinces of Balochistan and Sistan-o-Baluchestan, respectively. It also serves as a significant stride forward in the bilateral relationship between the two countries.
