Economic growth can help create new opportunities: PM

ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi on Friday said the economic growth would help create new opportunities for the qualified people and reverse brain drain from the country.

He was talking to a delegation of students from Institute of Business Management Karachi here at the Prime Minister Office. The interaction forms part of a series of meetings held under the initiative in which students from various educational institutions from across the country are invited to the Prime Minister Office. The students were also briefed about working of the highest offices of the government.

Replying to the students' queries on health and education, the prime minister said those areas had been devolved to the provinces under the 18th Amendment. With greater financial allocations, it was now the responsibility of provinces to ensure provision of quality education and health facilities in their respective domains, he added.

He said the federal government was committed to provide all possible assistance to the provinces for promoting education and ensuring provision of quality health facilities to the people. The PM said the world was taking keen interest in the economic growth of Pakistan.
