Governing and acting On this occasion, Maryam Aurangzeb, the federal information minister, and the chief minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa were both present.
The prime minister remarked during the occasion that Khyber Pakhtunkhwa was a place of valiant people. According to him, this province also plays a significant part in the fight against terrorism. “The people here defended Pakistan with their blood,” he stated.
Mr. Sharif claimed that the prior years were exceedingly challenging. Pakistan will undoubtedly be able to support itself, wealth will arrive, and Pakistan’s economy will alter as a result of agriculture. We must stand on our own two feet if we want to put an end to begging, he remarked.
The prime minister announced, “Today, we received $2 billion from Saudi Arabia. I am grateful to my brother, Mohammed bin Salman, the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia. The Saudi government has consistently helped Pakistan during adversity. I also want to thank Commander Asim Munir and Ishaq Dar.
The nation’s future must be shaped, according to Sharif. Agriculture, IT, and minerals all have extensive plans.
“Today, our neighbour is travelling ahead of us, which is our own fault,” he remarked. We must sweep today in front of our own door. Today, we must choose between maintaining our dignity and sense of self or becoming beggars. He said that Pakistan formerly outperformed India in terms of cotton exports.
We must draw lessons from the past. Hard labour is the reason why nations prosper. We need to revolutionise the agricultural and industrial sectors. Pakistan will undoubtedly grow to be a significant emerging nation in the region and the world during the next years.
Sharif said that the distribution of laptops began under his leadership. In the future, we’ll hand out 0.1 million laptops. Laptops will only be awarded based on merit. If we win re-election, we’ll provide laptops to each province in proportion to its population, he stated.
He claimed that corruption and recommendations were commonplace in the nation today. “The corruption has shaken the foundations of Pakistan,” he continued.
