Shehbaz calls for cooperation for socioeconomic growth, peace, and stability in the region.
The need of regional collaboration for sustainable development, peace, and stability was emphasized in Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s stirring opening speech at the 23rd Shanghai collaboration Organization (SCO) Heads of Government conference in Islamabad.
As he welcomed state leaders and observers, the prime minister emphasized that 40% of the world’s population was represented by the SCO. “We can enhance regional stability, peace, and socioeconomic prosperity. To raise the standard of living for our people, we can collaborate,” the prime minister emphasized.
Furthermore, PM Sharif emphasized that all member states must work together to boost economic growth and raise the standard of living for their citizens. “We must provide a better quality of life and facilities to our people,” said the president. He emphasized that strong linkages between regions and the present summit offer a significant chance to fortify the bonds that underpin sustainable development.
“The global scenario is changing and developing,” he said, stressing that the SCO countries had the power to ensure the stability and security of their citizens’ futures.
SCO leaders should give priority to poverty reduction methods, Shehbaz said, as she addressed important topics like trade cooperation, economic stability, and the eradication of poverty. He said that global leaders have a need to ensure a better future for future generations, referring to poverty as a moral as well as an economic problem.
Speaking on the creation of a green development system to address environmental issues, such as natural calamities, was Shehbaz Sharif. In addition to pointing out that measures were required to strengthen trade links within the region, he made the case that unity can empower women and young people, spur the growth of the tourism industry, and eliminate poverty.
In addition, the PM emphasized that the SCO countries had to think about a fresh approach to economic cooperation and that Afghanistan is crucial to the stability and growth of the region.
“The international community should focus on humanitarian aid for Afghanistan and make efforts to ensure the Afghan land is not used for terrorism,” Shehbaz added.
When it comes to infrastructure projects, Shehbaz Sharif emphasized the Belt and Road Initiative’s (BRI) significance for regional growth. Pakistan is about to join the second phase of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), he pointed out. He pointed out that there is a lot of room for cooperation in the fields of transportation and energy.
The prime minister emphasized, “We need economic stability for a shared future,” and that efforts to end poverty must come first. “There is a moral component to poverty in addition to its economic implications. The core causes of poverty must be addressed in our primary focus.”
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif concluded by emphasizing that the hazards brought on by environmental changes posed the biggest challenge to the world’s leaders in their duty to build a better future for future generations. “We have to work together to deal with natural calamities,” his conclusion was.
