ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif Friday said the nation would never forget the sacrifices of its martyrs.
In a message on the Police Martyrs’ Day, he said the whole nation paid tribute to their dutiful countrymen who rendered sacrifices to protect the lives and properties of citizens.

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif Friday inaugurated the National Aerospace Science and Technology Park (NASTP) established with collaboration among the government, international companies and private sector.

Addressing the launching ceremony of “Salam Pakistan” brand and e-portal, the prime minister Friday said being rich in immense scenic beauty, particularly the Northern Areas, Pakistan could turn these resources into a great opportunity.
The prime minister said Pakistan was a great place for promoting tourism and cultural heritage. He instructed his Advisor Aoun Chaudhry to do maximum efforts to promote tourism, though the government was about to complete its term very soon.
