The premier expressed that the plunder was simple in poor countries, the rich people destroyed the institutions and the countries plop.

While replying to a question regarding foreign aid, Imran Khan underscored that it was a curse for the poor countries as it halted the evolution and progress.

“I do not believe that a military conflict can solve a problem. It is insane to have conflict with idea of people dying. I believe in dialogue rather than opting for hundreds and thousands of people dying every day in the name of combat”.

The prime minister said that the poor countries are already suffering with the covid-19 aftermaths and the conflict consequences could further add insult to their injuries.
