ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari have agreed to continue negotiations at the committee level in an effort to ease tensions between the ruling PML-N and its key coalition partner, the PPP.

This decision emerged from a meeting on Thursday where both leaders aimed to address and resolve existing grievances. During the meeting, a PPP delegation led by Bilawal Bhutto Zardari met with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.

Bilawal expressed concerns about the non-implementation of the power-sharing agreement, citing issues such as the PPP’s limited influence in Punjab and the lack of administrative positions and funds.

Shehbaz Sharif highlighted positive economic indicators, citing the stock market’s historic performance as a sign of the business community’s confidence in the budget. He emphasized the importance of all political parties working together for the country’s development and the welfare of its people.

To further strengthen relations, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif hosted a dinner in honor of the PPP delegation. Sources revealed that Bilawal Bhutto Zardari voiced concerns about the unmet promises made during the formation of the government. He specifically mentioned the PPP’s challenges in Punjab and the neglect of Sindh’s major development projects in the federal budget.
