Highlighting the four fundamental principles of successful nations\u2014law and order, policy consistency, economic stability, and continuous reforms\u2014Professor Iqbal noted that past initiatives such as \u2018Vision 2010\u2019 and \u2018Vision 2025\u2019 fell victim to instability.

Several initiatives are underway to increase female workforce participation by 50% and equip the youth with digital skills, aiming to transform Pakistan into a modern, developed, and self-sufficient economy. The minister urged overseas Pakistanis to pursue higher education and acquire cutting-edge expertise, as their achievements play a crucial role in the country\u2019s stability and growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Minister Ahsan Iqbal also said that the government is developing a comprehensive strategy to engage overseas Pakistanis in national development through digital platforms. He stated that increasing exports is not just about strengthening the economy but also about creating employment opportunities for youth, empowering women economically, and enhancing the country\u2019s resilience to climate challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He reiterated that the \u2018Uraan Pakistan\u2019 vision is a holistic approach to transforming Pakistan into an export-driven economy, a technology-enabled society, and a climate-resilient nation.
