‘Wealth creation’ to take Pakistan forward, says PM Khan in Ankara

ANKARA: Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan on Friday stressed upon the notion of ‘wealth creation’ to resolve all economic woes of Pakistan.  

According to details, the prime minister was addressing a delegation of the Turkey-Pakistan Business Council of the Foreign Economic Relations Board of Turkey.

During 1970s, the PM recalled that Pakistan “went wrong because we had a socialist mindset which became a deterrent to wealth creation.” As making profits was considered a sin back then, leaving Pakistan lagging behind, he added.

The premier clarified that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf government has a “different” approach, because “we feel that wealth creation can take Pakistan out of its economic crisis.” He highlighted that his government’s policies were based on the idea of wealth creation which will help paying debts and alleviating poverty from the country.
