Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif on Saturday said that Pakistan’s economy has stabilized, key financial indicators show positive trends, and the country is now moving toward sustained economic growth.
He was speaking to ministers, members of Parliament and Punjab assembly at the residence of member National Assembly Chaudhry Iftikhar Nazir. He said when his government came in power, the country was facing difficult economic conditions and the government had to sign an agreement with International Monetary Fund (IMF) to save Pakistan from economic default.
He said that during the last one and a half year, the federal and Punjab governments had served Pakistan and Punjab well. During a recent meeting, he said he appreciated Chief Minister Punjab and her team for their efforts to help people during floods.
He appreciated the Punjab government for its excellent performance in the areas of health, education, transport, communication and road construction.
“We are serving Pakistan day and night with hard work, honesty and sincerity,” he remarked. He said Pakistan defeated India in the four day war and achieved victory with the prayers of the people and bravery of the Pakistan army, navy and air force.
Pakistan’s armed forces led by Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir and Air Chief Marshal Zaheer Ahmed Baber wrote a new chapter as they resoundingly defeated India, he observed, adding the government also achieved success on the diplomatic front and signed a defence pact with Saudi Arabia. The Saudi leadership expressed its strong affinity with Pakistan, he mentioned.
The Prime Minister said during his visit to New York and Washington, he held meetings with the US President Donald Trump and along with leaders of the Islamic countries, played role to stop the oppression in Gaza.
The situation in Gaza was very bad as women, children, youth and elders were getting martyred and schools and hospitals were being destroyed, he said.
