Quetta: The Chinese Consulate in Karachi has approved a plan aimed at offering financial assistance to 1201 orphan students in Gwadar with a budget of RMB 350,000.

The Balochistan Education Department has compiled a roster containing 1,201 orphaned children from Gwadar, an official statement issued by the Balochistan provincial government said, citing the approval of the project by the Chinese Consulate.
