ISLAMABAD
\nDeputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar on Thursday said that the government was making all-out efforts to accomplish Pakistan\u2019s journey from nuclear to economic power and regain its lost stature in the world. The deputy prime minister, addressing a news conference, gave a roundup of the government\u2019s efforts to bring economic stability and enhance Pakistan\u2019s diplomatic footprints through bilateral and multilateral engagements with the latest one being the beginning of country\u2019s two-year term as non-permanent member of the United Nations Securit Council for years 2025-26.
\nHighlighting the high-level exchanges, and Pakistan\u2019s participation in and hosting of international events, he said the incumbent government had strived to enhance Pakistan\u2019s diplomatic footprint during its first 10 months, which led to the burying of the impression of an \u201cisolated Pakistan.\u201d The deputy prime minister said that the PML-N-led coalition government inherited huge challenges of around 25% policy rate, slow GDP growth and skyrocketing inflation. However, the government\u2019s prudent economic policies downed the policy rate to 13%, inflation below 5%, and remittance, foreign exchange reserves and exports on the rise.
\nIshaq Dar told that following Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif\u2019s visits and effective engagements with the leadership of the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Azerbaijan, there were indications of around $29 billion investment in coming to Pakistan. He highlighted Pakistan\u2019s participation in the Nuclear Energy Summit, World Economic Forum in Saudi Arabia, OIC summit in Gambia, the visit of Saudi foreign minister, Iran\u2019s president late Ebrahim Raisi and his foreign minister, and that during all interactions Pakistan effectively raised the issue of Kashmir and ongoing Israel\u2019s genocide of Palestinian population. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
