Foreign reserves show improvement, says Dar
The finance minister says Pakistan possesses the world's largest network of natural gas pipelines, holds $3000 billion in mines and minerals reserves, and possesses substantial assets worth billions of rupees.
Islamabad: Federal Minister for Finance Ishaq Dar on Wednesday said that Pakistan's foreign exchange reserves were showing improvement, and efforts were underway to enhance the country's soft image.
Ishaq Dar emphasized that speaking against Pakistan on every occasion was not beneficial. He highlighted that Pakistan possesses the world's largest network of natural gas pipelines, holds $3000 billion in mines and minerals reserves, and possesses substantial assets worth billions of rupees.
Drawing a comparison with Egypt and Indonesia, the minister pointed out that these countries also prioritize the safeguarding of their assets in the best interests of their nations, a principle Pakistan is following for national interests.
Dar emphasized the need for a non-political approach, urging everyone to put the country's interests first. He called for collective efforts to enhance Pakistan's image and highlighted the importance of the Sovereign Wealth Fund as a valuable asset in this endeavor.
The focus remains on improving the perception of Pakistan and fostering a positive international outlook for the nation.
