On his behalf and on behalf of Quaid Mian Nawaz Sharif, he thanked him for announcing his support to the Muslim League-N. We hope that together we will be able to get Pakistan out of all political and economic crises, Inshallah,”.

“The PPP is not interested in federal government,” he added.
The PPP chairman mentioned the challenges including the climate change being faced by Pakistan.
“We will form a committee to engage with other political parties to establish political stability,” said Bilawal.

He urged all the political parties to sit together to find out the deficiencies took place during this election.
