With a focus on inclusive growth, education, healthcare, and environmental sustainability, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has pledged to keep working with international partners.
He stated in a statement on the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty that ending poverty is not just a moral obligation but also a crucial tenet of attaining sustainable development and guaranteeing everyone’s peace and prosperity.
In spite of global issues like inflation and economic uncertainty, the prime minister stated that the government is still dedicated to making living more affordable for its citizens.
According to him, the government’s focused initiatives are meant to empower communities—particularly women and children—and provide them with the resources they require to create a better future.
According to Shehbaz Sharif, the government’s programs like the PM Youth Business, Agriculture Loans, Digi-Skills—free IT training—and the Pakistan Education Endowment Fund are changing lives by giving millions of families access to financial and technical support.
According to him, Pakistan is still fully committed to reaching the seventeen Sustainable Development Goals, among which eradicating poverty is at the top.
Shehbaz Sharif reiterated his strong commitment to ending poverty and invited all sectors to contribute to the creation of a more wealthy, just, and inclusive society.
