NA speaker terms MBS visit highly successful

SWABI: National Assembly Speaker Asad Qaiser said on Tuesday that the Indian leadership had created different hurdles in the successful visit of the Saudi Prince Mohammad bin Salman to Pakistan but they utterly failed to achieve their objectives.Talking to the media, he opined that the visit was highly successful and in future, the two Muslim countries would come closer to each other. “The memorandum of understandings worth $20 billion would strengthen the country’s economy. Now, the country’s economy is in a take-off position,” he said.To a question, he said he was sitting there when Prime Minister Imran Khan appealed to the Prince for releasing Pakistani prisoners. The prime minister was speaking from the core of his heart, he added.The 1.7 million Pakistani workers in Saudi Arabia would also get relief, he said, adding that more Pakistani labourers would be encouraged to earn a livelihood with dignity and honour in the Kingdom.About new constitutional amendments, he said that the government had planned to introduce such law under which the civil cases would no longer linger on and these would be settled by the judiciary in two years. “Pakistan is a peaceful country and strives for peace in the South Asian region but the Indian leaders should not consider the overture for tranquility as our weakness,” he said.
