Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Saturday said that there existed economic challenges but the nation would have to decide whether it would live on foreign debts or stand on its feet by carving a niche among the comity of nations with honesty, dedication, and hard work.
The prime minister expressed optimism that despite different challenges, Pakistan would be soon out of all difficulties.
If the chronic issue of load shedding, the scourge of terrorism could end, free medicines could be provided to the poor, and road infrastructure could be laid, then surely, the country could move on the path of progress and prosperity, he added.
The prime minister was addressing a ceremony after reviewing the construction work on the six-lane overhead bridge of Imamia Colony railways crossing Shahdra N-5.
He said that those nations always achieved milestones that took lead with definite decisions over their future.
