The prime minister has challenged the international community to develop an economic justice and fairness policy.
According to Radio Pakistan, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has urged world countries to come forward in generous terms to formulate and provide an opportunity, a system, and a mechanism to satisfy the most vulnerable at a minimum and create harmony in terms of economic justice and fairness to save the world from trouble.
The prime minister stated that the world would never be at peace unless we devise a fair, pleasant, and prudent formula for the distribution of financial resources.
The Prime Minister described the devastation caused by climate-induced severe floods in Pakistan, saying, “Last year, we had the most devastating floods in Pakistan, which completely changed our lifestyle.”
According to him, 33 million people were harmed, and millions of acres of standing crops were wiped away.
According to him, seventeen hundred individuals died in total, half a million animals perished, and two million houses were entirely or partially destroyed.
