Ankara : To overcome the current economic difficulties, Pakistan needs political stability and consistency in its policies. The history, culture, food, and people of Pakistan are all unparalleled; brave and educated young people are Pakistan’s asset. In a meeting with Abdul Qadir and Pakistan-origin Turkish journalist Abdul Hamid Chohan, the head of the Turkey-Pakistan Women Forum, Shabana Ayaz, in Ankara, senior Turkish journalist Mehmet Oz Turk said that Pakistan is one of the most prominent countries in the Islamic world. Its history, culture, food, and people are all unparalleled. To overcome its current economic difficulties, Pakistan needs political stability and consistency in its policies. The wealth of Pakistan is not reaching the common people. To make the people of Pakistan prosperous, it must escape political strife. With over 60% of its population being youth, Pakistan is of utmost importance not only to its region but to the entire Islamic world. He expressed these views during a conversation with Shabana Ayaz at her office, accompanied by journalists Abdul Qadir and Abdul Hamid Chohan. He said that Pakistan is a large and nuclear-powered country, but politically and economically, its performance is not good. The wealth of Pakistan is not reaching the common people. To make the people of Pakistan prosperous, it must escape political strife. The youth in Pakistan, who are mostly educated in English, can play a crucial role in national development, but unfortunately, they are leaving the country. If there is political stability in Pakistan, this group will not leave, leading to national development and economic improvement, as Pakistan is rich in mineral resources. Pakistan is also an agricultural country and can become a welfare state due to its natural resources. The youth of Pakistan fall into human resources, speaking English fluently, and can work for their country everywhere, thus this power should be utilized for national development. In Turkey, not many people speak English. Internationally, we cannot achieve much until we speak English, but Pakistan can do a lot. By utilizing the power of its youth, Pakistan can play an important role in national development.He said that he wants to send a message to Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz to make Pakistan clean again. Pakistan’s name itself means a pure place. Not only cities but also villages should have a cleaning system. He heard on Pakistani channels that Maryam Nawaz, upon becoming Chief Minister, talked about the cleaning system and is serious about it. Pakistan should be genuinely clean, not just Punjab, but all provinces should have an excellent cleaning system.Abdul Hamid Chohan said that Shahbaz Sharif also hired Turkish companies for cleaning services because cleanliness is half of faith. Abdul Qadir said that there are many religious people in Pakistan, but they should overcome the poor cleaning system. A campaign should be started, taking Turkey’s cleaning system as an example, for people to keep their homes, streets, and neighborhoods clean. They should recycle garbage to create sources of income.Mehmet Oz Turk told Shabana Ayaz that he has visited all four provinces of Pakistan. Whether it is a wedding in Peshawar or a conference in Lahore, he comes to Pakistan as if it were his home. He suggested to Shabana Ayaz that she can reduce the distance between the two countries by creating vlogs, informing the people of Pakistan about the daily lives of people in Turkey and vice versa, introducing them to each other in different ways.
