The Prime Minister highlighted that businesses and investments are being facilitated through Information Technology reforms and the digitalization of the tax system. He expressed optimism about achieving Sustainable Development Goals through a comprehensive consultative process.

According to Radio Pakistan, the Prime Minister emphasized that industrial growth is the government’s top priority, which would lead to increased employment opportunities in the country.
