He reiterated Pakistan's continuously resolve to support Kashmir's just right to self-determination. He said for this purpose we will continue our efforts to highlight the issue at all international fora.

Regarding improvement in Agriculture sector, the Prime Minister said it is a devolved subject after 18th Amendment but still we have some ambitious plans under the SIFC forum for this purpose. He expressed hope that these plans would give positive impact in future.

To a question regarding culture promotion, the Prime Minister urged the private sector to invest in this area through joint ventures with neighboring countries including China, Iran and Central Asian States.
