Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan has stated on Thursday that the industrialization as well as the promotion of tourism are vital to repay debts through boosting exports and revenue generation.  

PM Imran Khan while addressing the groundbreaking ceremony of Sialkot-Kharian Motorway stated that the motorway would facilitate the industrial triangle of Gujranwala-Wazirabad-Sialkot which was also a densely population region. 

The Prime Minister lauded the idea of involving the private sector in the motorway project. He said that this step will help the government in diverting resources to other areas. He was confident that more private capital will flow into the road infrastructure projects in future. 

The Prime Minister also said it is vital to incentivize the industrial sector for wealth creation which will help retiring the country's debt.  

PM Imran Khan went on to say that the Swat motorway has opened the whole area for tourism. He said Pakistan has immense potential for tourism but it was not developed in the past. He said projects such as second phase of Swat motorway and Dir Motorway will help encourage both domestic and foreign tourism at the picturesque places.
