ISLAMABAD: The Pakistani army’s brave soldiers, according to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, are a strong defensive line defending the country from the evil intentions of the enemy.
After six security personnel, including Major Saqib Hussain, were killed in Balochistan’s Sherani and Kech districts, the prime minister expressed these opinions. According to PM Sharif, the nation values the soldiers’ sacrifice because it ensures the country’s security and peace. He declared his unwavering commitment to removing those who wished to disturb the peace in Balochistan.
He said the progress and development of Balochistan was a top priority for the government.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Monday felicitated the business community and the nation on the unprecedented surge of the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX).
He said as a result of the staff-level agreement and a $3 billion standby arrangement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the trust of investors and the business community was rapidly reviving.
After Pakistan’s agreement with the IMF, the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) opened with a surge of 5.38%, or 2,231 points on Monday. The PSX benchmark rose to 43,684 points in the opening session.
In a statement issued by the PM Office, Shehbaz Sharif said the government’s continued struggle and prudent policies had started bearing fruits as signs of the country’s economic revival were rising.
We are resuming the journey of economic development and a decline in the inflation rate from the point where Quaid Muhammad Nawaz Sharif had left.
Thank God, the country has been put on the path of development again, he said adding that after severe disappointments, a new sun of hope is rising again.
Praying to Allah Almighty for further successes on the economic front, the prime minister said the seeds of Pakistan’s development had started taking root as a result of the government’s sincere efforts, honesty and truth.
He said the government once again had embarked upon Qauid Muhammad Nawaz Sharif’s vision of construction, development and people’s welfare.
He said just as between 2013 and 2018 the PML-N government succeeded to free Pakistan from the energy crisis, terrorism and other problems, bringing economic development, it would bring Pakistan on the path of development and prosperity with the same spirit.
Shehbaz Sharif vowed to continue the journey of economic stability and national development with the same direction, spirit and struggle.
“Under the leadership of Muhammad Nawaz Sharif, just as China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) was launched, the economy revived, the inflation rate kept at around 4%, the growth rate brought to 6.1% and the policy rate was kept at 6%, we are coming back again to same journey of development,” he added.
He said now the development process in all sectors including agriculture, Information Technology and industry would be expedited. Then, he said the inflation would subside and youth would be empowered by providing them with employment and business opportunities.
