Govt striving hard to bring economic stability in country: FM Qureshi

MULTAN, Jan 22 (DNA): Foreign Minister Makhdoom Shah Mehmood Qureshi has
said that government is striving hard to bring economic stability in the
country.

Talking to newsmen in Multan Saturday, the Foreign Minister said this
year is the year of revival of economy and next year will be year of
prosperity.

The foreign minister said that Pakistani economy is growing by 5.3
percent as per the World Bank report which is encouraging. He said that
Pakistan has successfully overcome the four waves of corona pandemic.

“Coronavirus affected global economy but the country still managed well
despite the pandemic,” he added.

To a question, he said Pakistan’s armed forces and entire nation have
sacrificed their lives in war against terrorism. He said nefarious
designs of enemies against Pakistan will never be succeeded.

Shah Mahmood Qureshi said that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government
will complete its term and will also give surprise in next general
elections.

The Foreign Minister said that government is fully aware of inflation in
the country but PTI has taken steps for stability in the economy.

Talking about creation of South Punjab province, Qureshi said that he
has penned a letter to Shehbaz Sharif and Bilawal Bhutto on the matter
as government wants to fulfill its promise but establishment of new
province requires constitutional amendment which requires support from
opposition.

He further said that government is even willing to give opposition the
credit for the constitutional amendment if it wants.

While criticizing Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), the minister said that
all political parties of Sindh have rejected the provincial local
government act. He added that PTI is in favor of local bodies elections.
