He reaffirmed that the country is becoming an attractive destination for investment due to practical, implementation-focused reforms.

Concluding his address, the Prime Minister said that reforms are not merely policy documents but real, tangible actions, essential for sustainable economic progress. With Allah’s grace, he expressed confidence that Pakistan will continue moving forward and achieve all its economic targets.
