ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said next government should focus on ‘Economic Revival Plan.’ Addressing foundation stone laying ceremony of model Special Economic Zone (SEZ), PM Shehbaz said, “International Monetary Fund (IMF) increased pressure on us. It is much appreciated that friendly countries have supported Pakistan.”
