According to Sindh Governor House, the draft vision for Pakistan in 2040 has been developed in consultation with various stakeholders and will be formally presented at Mazar-e-Quaid on December 25, the anniversary of the birth of Pakistan’s founder, Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah. The plan sets forth objectives such as increased investment, enhancement of trade and business activities, and identifies areas for improvement across various sectors.
