PM’s aide recounts PTI initiatives for expats

Defining the key pillars of PTI’s governance stratagem, Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Climate Change Malik Amin Aslam on Monday said the incumbent government laid emphasis on economy, environment and social development.

Addressing a three-day Overseas Pakistanis Convention in Islamabad, the PM's aide said PTI government pulled out the country from financial debts and the economic crunch post Covid-19 pandemic with a record tax collection and growing exports.

Commenting on the economic realm, Amin said the government’s promising policies bore fruit and massive growth was witnessed in three sectors of agriculture, textile and housing, adding that “several other sectors are linked to the housing sector that drives the economic wheel."

He termed social development as the second pillar of the government's strategy which also showed promising outcomes under visionary goals of poverty alleviation.

The SAPM underlined that the fruits of economic prosperity would reach every social cohort of the country. Kamyab Jawan Programme (KJP) and Sehat Insaf Card was part of the social development strategy, he added.

Amin highlighted that environment was the third pillar of the government's vision which was ignored by the previous regimes, whereas at present, environment was a key component of Prime Minister Imran Khan's mainstream agenda.

"The world is acknowledging the green policies of PM Imran targeting environmental conservation, ecosystem restoration and economic uplift at the same time," he remarked.
