PM welcomes WB's $20b pledge

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Wednesday welcomed the World Bank's pledge of $20 billion under its first-ever 10-year Country Partnership Framework (CPF) for Pakistan.

The prime minister, in a social media post on his X timeline, said that while focusing on six key areas, including child nutrition, quality education, clean energy, climate resilience, inclusive development, and private investment, CPF reflected Pakistan's national priorities, as envisioned in its Home Grown Economic Transformation Plan.

The PM appreciated the efforts of Army chief General Asim Munir and other colleagues for their efforts to strengthen Pakistan.
