Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Tuesday hinted at announcing a power relief package for the winter season and emphasised on facilitating the businessmen to boost their morale.
“We are taking measures bit by bit for relief of the common man to create jobs and run the economy. This is a tough journey but only the nations that face the challenges are destined to succeed,” he remarked, while presiding over federal cabinet meeting in Islamabad.
The prime minister told the cabinet members that in a follow-up of his recent visit to Riyadh, a Pakistani delegation had left for the kingdom to discuss cooperation in mining and minerals, solar energy and skilled IT sectors for which workforce was required by both Saudi Arabia and Qatar.
He asked the IT ministry to give a presentation to explain their strategy to produce IT workforce of international standard to make them cope with the requirements of both the countries.
Calling for swift action on B2B MoUs with Saudi Arabia, PM Shehbaz said the Azerbaijan government had also given a green light for the signing of $2 billion MoUs to strengthen bilateral cooperation.
