Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani has said that Qatar demanded skilled workforce from Pakistan to build the infrastructure for Olympic Games scheduled to be held there in 2022.
He was talking to Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif, Sindh Chief Minister Syed Qaim Ali Shah and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ameer Haider Hoti, who called on him at Prime Minister’s Secretariat on Thursday, before the 8th meeting of Council of Common Interests (CCI).
The prime minister said that during his visit to Qatar, he informed the Qatari leadership that poverty and illiteracy were the major root cause of extremism and terrorism and the absorption of unemployed Pakistani people in employment would greatly help in circumventing them from falling into the trap of terrorists.
