“By working hard, we can bring Pakistan to the top 10 economies of the world by 2047 and for this, we have to silence negative voices,” he said.

Iqbal expressed these remarks at the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Conference held in the Ministry of Planning regarding the national development agenda.

Ahsan said that natural resources were misused in industrial revolution, adding that Pakistan is among top ten countries affected by climate change.

The minister said that parliamentarians have a very important role regarding sustainable development goals and the work of distribution of resources is done by the Parliament.

He said that the private sector has an important role to play in achieving the SDGs and the media should help spread awareness of SDGs to the public.

The Sustainable Development Goals, when formulated, were intended to develop and it is our responsibility to establish safe and sustainable development for future generations, he said.

The minister said that sustainable development goals are included in Pakistan’s 2025 agenda.

Today, all the stakeholders, civil society and the private sector can also play a role in achieving sustainable development goals, he stressed.
