“Political stability is crucial for ensuring economic stability and advancing the country on the path of development,” he added.

He highlighted that the country was making significant progress before 2018 under the leadership of Mian Nawaz Sharif, however a well-planned conspiracy was executed to remove him from the political landscape.

“I have complete faith that the sacrifices we all, including myself, are making for Pakistan’s economic security will not go in vain,” he added.
