President Mamnoon Hussain on Saturday said that sound fiscal and economic policies had turned around country's economy, which was also being acknowledged by the international financial institutions. He said that a number of energy generation projects, infrastructural and industrial development had been started and called upon the people belonging to every walk of life to support the government in completion of these projects.
President Mamnoon Hussain was addressing the 61st convocation of Government Islamia College Railway Road in Lahore. The President said that there had been no change in the China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) route, asserting that negative propaganda in this regard was unjustified and people should reject it. He also said China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is a mega project that would change the fate of the region, as it would generate employment opportunities and expedite business activities.
The government, he said, was committed to ensure equal development in all the sectors including education, health, infrastructure and transport. He said in view of emerging changes in international politics, it is important for the youth to realize the global economic trends for their future opportunities.
He also advised the youth to focus on acquiring higher education particularly in science, technology and Information technology to contribute to country's progress.

The President urged the youth to equip themselves with latest knowledge, skills and expertise to contribute positively in overall socio-economic development of the country.
