Prime Minister Imran Khan on Tuesday said the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government was striving to make a 'Naya Pakistan' that overseas nationals can be proud of.

The country's premier was speaking at an event in Doha, Qatar for overseas Pakistanis.

PM Imran said he would steer the country out of these difficult times it is currently going through.

"Pakistan has no shortage in resources, it is only the corrupt former governments that have looted the national wealth which is why we are in the state we find ourselves in," he added.
