Looking to the international community, Pakistan will continue to support Kashmiris in their struggle for self-determination.

We want peace at home and abroad to pursue our economic and social agenda.

He said that in the new Pakistan, our entire focus has shifted from geopolitics to geoeconomics in which we are focusing on the welfare and prosperity of the people of Pakistan as a top priority.
