President Alvi stressed the vital importance of honesty and trust in all commercial endeavors, both domestically and abroad. He lauded the track record of Pakistani products that had achieved international acclaim through the addition of value to their original forms, emphasizing the potential for global promotion of ‘Made in Pakistan’ items.
President Alvi asked business leaders and the youth of Pakistan to take an active role in rectifying societal issues and advocating for local products. He called upon Pakistani society to prioritize ‘Made in Pakistan’ products over foreign alternatives as a means of promoting domestic manufacturing and reducing the nation’s import bills.
Highlighting alarming statistics, the President drew attention to the mental stress faced by 24 percent of the Pakistani population and the unfortunate reality that approximately 27 million children were out of school.
