The two leaders are also expected to deliberate on regional security dynamics and the broader international landscape.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Shehbaz has expressed satisfaction over the Pakistan Stock Exchange reaching a historic high of 124,000 points, describing it as a clear vote of confidence from investors and the business community in the recently unveiled people-friendly federal budget.
He emphasized that the new budget places no additional tax burden on the general public and includes salary increases and tax reductions aimed at providing relief to the salaried class.
“Alhamdulillah! The journey of national economic development has begun,” the Prime Minister declared, acknowledging the resilience and sacrifices of the Pakistani people. He stressed the need for collective efforts to raise the living standards of ordinary citizens.
Calling Pakistan’s transition from the brink of default to economic recovery a “miracle,” PM Shehbaz reaffirmed the government’s commitment to ensuring sustainable and inclusive growth.
