ISLAMABAD:Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi says general elections will be held in July this year.
He was addressing inaugural ceremony of first CCV line and aluminum alloy manufacturing plant in Sunder Industrial Estate in Lahore.
The Prime Minister said in the upcoming general election the voters will decide about the fate of next government, and their decision will be accepted.
Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi has emphasized that the private sector and the government require working hand in hand to achieve export targets.
The Prime Minister said the government has facilitated private sector investment through different incentives, which led to increase in business activities and eventually boosted the exports.
He stressed upon maintaining quality and standards in the production by bringing the local products at par with the international competitors to attract investment in the country.
Shahid Khaqan Abbasi said the government is striving to achieve a balance in import and export through short and long term policies.
Addressing a public gathering at Nankana Sahib on Saturday, Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi said PML (N) believes in the politics of principles, decency and serving the masses.
He said the difficulties including the politics of sit-ins did not deter the government from addressing the problems of the country.
The Prime Minister said there will be no loadshedding in the upcoming summer season.
He however, said load shedding will be carried out only in the areas where power pilferage is taking place.
He said we have sufficient power in the system but the burden of those stealing the electricity cannot be shifted to the honest consumers.
