Many claim that Pakistan has not been isolated by the world

KARACHI: Three billion dollars in aid given by the UAE to Pakistan calls for celebrations, as it not only bridges our financing gap, but it also shows that Pakistan has not been isolated by the world, as is claimed by many, internationally.

The faith shown in us by not just the UAE but also that by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and China only shows that over the years our state actors have established some great relationships, despite all the chaos and hurdles faced within the country.

In fact, Turkey and Egypt — and a few other countries too — have shown their support ever since Imran Khan was elected prime minister of the country. Hence, to say that Imran Khan’s election was indeed a turning point for our country would not be wrong. Only under a great leadership can any country flourish and this is our time.
