Pakistan will have to take a step towards development, says Bilawal as NA mulls budget FY27

PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari is currently addressing the National Assembly, which is debating the proposed federal budget for the next fiscal year (FY27).

He began his speech by praising the efforts of Pakistan’s leadership, particularly the prime minister and the army chief, in the peace agreement between the United States and Iran.

“We have experienced the economic impact of uncertain situations. This is why Pakistan always promotes peace,” he said, terming peace “not just a moral necessity but also economic”.

“When there is stability in the region, investment increases. When there is peace, the youth get employment, and the country progresses,” he said.

“Today, when the world is inching towards peace, Pakistan will have to take a step towards development,” the PPP chairman stressed, adding that he would present his budget speech with the same “spirit”.
