ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister for Planning and Development, Ahsan Iqbal Saturday said the country has been saved from default through tireless efforts and political sacrifice.

While addressing a special ceremony in Islamabad in connection with the “Day of Development and Progress”, he said the “Uraan Pakistan” programme aims to make Pakistan a prosperous nation by 2047.

He revealed plan to send 200,000 youth to China annually for training in information technology.
