LAHORE: Chief Minister-designate Shahbaz Sharif said Sunday that strengthening ties with neighbouring countries forms the basis of the PML-Ns foreign policy.
Iran is not only our neighbour, it is also one of our closest friends and it has always stood by Pakistan in the testing times, he said during a meeting with Iranian Ambassador Alireza Haghighian.
Shahbaz said that unrest and terrorism posed a hurdle to the regions progress and countries in the region must work together to improve the situation. I believe Iran can play a vital role in this regard, he said.
He said that brotherly ties between the two countries must be transformed into an economic relationship. We will welcome Irans investment in energy and other sectors in Punjab, he said.The Iranian ambassador assured Shahbaz of Irans cooperation in energy sector and said Tehran could help Punjab generate 2,000MW of electricity if some hurdles were removed.
Earlier, speaking to the media after a meeting with the Peoples Muslim League chief Arbab Ghulam Rahim, the CM-designate said that leaders and political parties from across the country were joining the PML-N and This is due to the prudent policies of Nawaz Sharif. He added that Arbab Ghulam Rahim could form an effective opposition in Sindh which would keep a check on the performance of the provincial government.
