The president added the government realises that the common man is facing hardships in the form of price-hikes, unemployment and unrest, and that steps were being taken to solve these issues.
He also said the present government had inherited a number of problems and was trying its best to overcome the challenges.
Further, he urged all segments of society to pay taxes.
Hussain said the federal government was supporting the Sindh government in improving the law and order in Karachi.
While appreciating that Pakistan exports rice to 103 countries, the president said there is potential to explore more markets and increase the share further.
Talking about the economic situation, the president said the government is working on establishing an economic corridor that that will lead the country on the path of development and prosperity.
