‘We Pakistanis, living in all federating units are brothers of each other and have to play our due role to make our country most respectable and developed among other countries of the world,’ he said while talking to journalists at the Governor’s House here. President Mamnoon said the country is facing the challenges of terrorism and economy, and the government would steer it out of all crises.
‘The major need of the hour is to curb terrorism and restore peace in the country, as no foreign and local investment could be attracted to any region, without restoration of peace and maintenance of law and order,’ he said, adding that peace dialogues with Taliban were underway and these would bear fruits in the shape of restoration of peace.
He said there was need to take steps to bring improvement in national economy and added a better economy puts the country on track of development. ‘Presently, economy has got domination on politics globally. Thriving trade and industrialization not only provide a large number of people with employment, but they also earn good name and respect for a country among all nations of the world,’ he said.
Mamnoon said that Governor Balochistan Muhammad Khan Achakzai, Chief Minister Balochistan, Dr Abdul Malik Baloch and other stakeholders had been given task to conduct peace talks with disgruntled Baloch nationalists to bring them into the mainstream.
Referring to Pak-China trade agreements, President Mamnoon said execution of the project of 4,000km long road from Tashkent to Gwadar and then to Karachi, and laying of railway track along it would boost the national economy.
The ongoing power generation projects in collaboration with China would generate 22,000MW electricity in the country, he said. It would not only help in ending load-shedding, but would also enable the country to export electricity, he added.
