The prime minister, along with his family members and federal ministers, will discuss challenges that the country is facing, following the recent fuel shortage crisis and the electricity breakdown.
The meeting was chaired by premier to review the government's policies and performance, as well as to devise a strategy on how to address the issues.
The meeting will form strategies regarding domestic issues, senate elections, the energy crisis, cabinet reshuffling, foreign policy, and the federal government’s conduct with provincial governments and defence institutions.
Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif, the premier’s daughter Maryam Nawaz Shairf, Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar, Finance Minister Ishaq Dar and other close aides from Punjab.
The attendees will discuss the challenges being faced by the federal government and the Punjab government, as well as the implementation of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz’s manifesto.
The premier expressed satisfaction over the supply of petrol in the country, and directed all relevant ministries and departments to ensure seamless coordination in order to avoid the occurrence of a shortage again.
Additionally, Chief Minister Shahbaz apprised the premier of the progress made by the province in implementing the NAP.
The prime minister said the government is committed to eradicating terrorism and extremism from the country, and has requested other provinces to speed up the process of implementing the programme.
Further, he said all political parties unanimously agreed on the 20 points of the NAP, and it is the responsibility of all federating units of the country to implement it.

The prerequisite for chairing a brainstorming session is having a brain. Therefore this session is null and void
@PMLN UK: Learning on the job with such a large amount of money, and that too not her own! Now, she is home schooling her daughter because of security reasons while everyone else is going to school. Great example from a government representative! She needs to go along with all the other Sharif relatives in the government.
Is he or any of his cronies capable of brainstorming?????
Governments seriousness in addressing the NAP & Energy crisis is evident from the fact that such meetings are held in Murree, making a mockery of the state of affairs in the country.
Come on we all know he lives like mughal emperors, all the tourists are flooding to Murree, so why not spent some time over there. He and his team is full of incompetent folks, they can do nothing at best.
' Brainstorming ' and Nawaz Sharif.........isn't that a serious oxymoron.
You must also be a distant phupho's son. Always out defending the indefensible!!!
@salman: You are being unfair. Maryam is a very educated, wise and clever woman. She has also got great experience by running the loan scheme for a number of months. PMLN ministers would do well to include her in ALL their meetings.
I'm sure if Maryam was in charge we would never have had a petrol shortage, or load shedding, and Obama would definitely have come to Pakistan to meet her.
In fact, can we please make her minister of something? No need for elections....Maryam would win any election she takes part in, so it would just be a waste of time and money.
Yes, Pathetic of me for having an opinion which is based on what i heard how he spoke to obama, modi and other places. And your democracy without rule of law is worse than Musharraf's dictatorship And also i do not care what Modi does with his country.
@awais ahmad:
Pathetic of you to be going short our democratically elected PM.
Moodi also reads from a script - there is nothing wrong with it.
We all saw the effect of "shooting from the hip" remarks from Musharraf gas the damage he did was devastating
and also you need a brain for brain storming .
Whats the point, he wouldn't be able to understand what ever you put in front of him. You can easily get that by just listening to him when he is talking. This guy can not even talk without a script.
