Past regimes had no foreign policy: Fawad

ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Chaudhry Fawad Hussain on Sunday said that Pakistan under the leadership of Prime Minister Imran Khan was going to play its due role in the Middle East to resolve the issues among the brotherly Muslim countries.

With Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) coming into power, Pakistan had gained its past importance internationally and was now going to play its role, which remained missing during the last regimes, in settling the issues among the Gulf states, he said while talking to a private news channel.

The minister said that the past regimes had no foreign policy, but the PTI adopted a proactive approach from day one after forming the government and the results were now shown with acknowledgement of its role in the resolution of regional issues.

An aggressive foreign policy, he said, would also be helpful in enhancing the exports.

Fawad said that the visit of Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan to Pakistan would also have a positive impact on the national economy, besides resolving the balance of payments crisis and strengthening the foreign exchange reserves.
