Islamabad, June 24, 2023 (PPI-OT): Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has expressed great pleasure to meet and interact with the members of expatriate community in France. In a tweet on Saturday, he said that overseas Pakistanis are making vital contributions to their adopted countries all over the world. Praising them, the Prime Minister said that we, in Pakistan, celebrate and are proud of their achievements as proud sons and daughters of the soil. They feel passionately for their motherland.

Shehbaz Sharif said he explained to them the circumstances in which the coalition government assumed office as well as the mammoth economic, diplomatic and political challenges that the government had to deal with over the last one year. The Prime Minister said he also focused on the grave implications of the tragic incidents of May 9 including the careful and methodical build-up to the Black Day. He appealed to them to be wary of malicious propaganda and the use of disinformation to tarnish the image of Pakistan and the state institutions.

Shehbaz Sharif also outlined the broad contours of the Economic Revival Plan to put the economy back on track through long-term policies. He said achieving economic self-reliance remains the overriding goal for the government.
