MULTAN: Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi said on Saturday that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government would fulfil its promises and a separate South Punjab province along with its secretariat will be established within the ongoing year.
“We have sought support from the opposition for the creation of Southern Punjab province,” he said while speaking to media representatives here.
A separate Public Service Commission will also be established for the proposed province, he added.
Speaking of the National Accountability Bureau’s (NAB) ongoing crackdown against politicians, Qureshi said that all cases were filed during the tenures of previous governments.
“Politics of confrontation is not the government’s policy and we are just implementing the decisions of courts. Prime Minister Imran Khan believes in the supremacy of law and he even appeared in the unjustified helicopter case.”
Responding to a question regarding the economy, the foreign minister said Saudi Arabia, UAE and China were cooperating with Pakistan for the revival of the economy due to the incumbent government’s sincere efforts and effective foreign policy.
