There is only one solution here for Pakistan: building the country’s economy.
PANAMA CITY, FLORIDA, USA: I want to commend Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on the position he has taken in this fresh round of India-Pakistan hostilities. There is only one solution here for Pakistan: building the country’s economy. Without a strong economy, Pakistan is left at the mercy of foreign countries and institutions. We need leaders who choose the time and place for their battles with wisdom and foresight. The world must understand that Pakistan is sincere about having lasting peace with India and that India is the aggressor in this case. But given the current state of world opinion over the India-Pakistan equation, only time will prove Pakistan’s honest intentions in the current round of hostilities.
