World will realise Pak's potential once India ties improve: Imran

TIL Desk/World/Islamabad/ Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan on Wednesday said the world will realise the true strategic economic potential of his country when the relationship with India becomes normal, but that has ‘unfortunately’ not been great. He also said his vision is to make Pakistan a welfare state and asserted that economic growth is not possible without peace and stability.

In a special address at the World Economic Forum 2020, Khan also said Pakistan has decided to partner any other country only for peace and named the partnership with the United States as the one. “I’m as old as Pakistan. Pakistan is only 5 years older than me. I’ve grown up with this country.”Our founders wanted Pakistan to be an Islamist welfare state. As a teenager, I had no idea what a welfare state means.

“I knew this only after I visited England and then I decided that it if I ever get a chance, I’ll work to make Pakistan a welfare state. That’s my vision,” he said. “Also, as a child I fell in love with wilderness of Pakistan and its mountains. As I aged, I saw these mountains disappearing and the forest cover receding.  “So I also decided that I’ll work to restore this natural beauty of Pakistan,” he said.
