@saleha: And once again with a visionary plan they have succeeded in fooling majority of the nation, just like before pml-n is plundering right under our noses, with the same majority cabinet, again they have borrowed from the world in excess of $3bn for a tenure of 5 to 10 years making sure they don't have to pay any of it back, next government will be paying for the upgrades to raiwand palace, nation is paying for hamza's spacious NY apartments, while our very own die of hunger in Thar. They have been borrowing viciously from sbp which is a clear violation of imf terms, and also the sbp act. To divert attention reducing petrol prices by a meager 2rs. Decreasing dollar to increase popularity. Taking unaccounted "gifts" from Gulf without declaring the quid pro quo terms. Someone should be keeping a check on their accounts, their assets, monitor their foreign trips....... Someone should keep investigating and building evidence against them.
We are a nation.....we should always applaud the efforts of our democraticly elected government. Pat them for an economic vision that if is materialised will be bang on the doors of who are negative......
This visit will help to bring Pakistan and China relations more close and strong, After ALLAH ,China is the only helper of Pakistan
@Parvez: Nawaz has improved Pakistani- image in the world since taking powers last hear. Donot eelect Overnight changes.
Awesome convention, only a handful of nations are invited every year!! It's great for bussiness in Pakistan. We JUST NEED TO GET TERRORISM IN ORDER!!!
We've seen this before, may times.............when you prove helpless at home, the trick it to tour the world and look busy.
