Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif said the economy was badly damaged under the previous Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI)-led government.
Speaking at a Federal Cabinet meeting, Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif mentioned that a remarkable conference on women’s education was recently held in Pakistan, which was well prepared by the Education Minister , the Secretary of Education, the Minister of Information and others.
The conference was attended by the OIC Secretary General and Ministers of Education from various countries.
He said Pakistan faces significant challenges in women’s education, with an estimated 22.8 million children out of school, a majority of whom are girls. He stressed that the provinces have an essential role to play in meeting these challenges and that the federal government must work with the provinces to overcome these obstacles in the education sector.
Shahbaz Sharif also mentioned that an emergency was declared in the education sector a few months ago. He urged the education minister to coordinate with provinces to remove barriers to education, which would be a major effort.
He added that PIA’s flights to Europe have resumed, with the first flight to Paris recently launched, which is a significant achievement.
Unfortunately, a few years ago, the previous government’s Aviation Minister made a speech in Parliament that contributed to Pakistan’s economic damage, leading to negative effects on the country and its travelers.
The Prime Minister also highlighted that after many years, all restrictions were being lifted and flights to the UK were expected soon. He congratulated Defense Minister Khawaja Asif, his team and everyone involved in this achievement.
He mentioned the opening of a new crossing on the Pakistan-Iran border at Panjgur, which will promote legal trade and reduce smuggling. He thanked brotherly Iran for the important role it played in this regard.
In Kurram, the situation is returning to normal after a major setback due to a peace agreement, with the dismantling of bunkers and the provision of food and medicine.
The Prime Minister further said that operations against the Khorij faction continued under the leadership of the Pakistan Army Chief. Recently, 27 terrorists were killed during an intelligence operation in Balochistan.
Operations also continue in other areas. He emphasized that these sacrifices will eventually eradicate the threat of Khorij and restore the peace that Pakistan had under the leadership of Nawaz Sharif in 2018.
The Prime Minister also mentioned that the Ministry of Energy had informed the cabinet and a task force was working effectively on the issue.
It is worth noting that the Federal Cabinet meeting, chaired by the Prime Minister, is underway and important decisions are expected to be ratified.
The meeting’s agenda includes discussions on the appropriate size of federal institutions, the proposal to place the aviation division under the Ministry of Defense and the merger of the narcotics division within the Ministry of Defense. the Interior.
