The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, Government of Pakistan, under its former minister Mr Fawad Chaudhry was very supportive of granting approval for the idea of this undertaking. The Pavilion of Pakistan thus garnered a great deal of attention and support from the art community as well as the entire country. Pakistan’s participation in this prestigious international art event has provided a global audience with an unforgettable introduction to Pakistani art. I congratulate Zahra Khan, for her commitment and hard work, and Naiza Khan, for being the first significant Pakistani artist to represent the country, along with everyone who played a part in this initiative’s success. I particularly thank Asma Rashid Khan, Director of Foundation Art Divvy, for partnering with the project, in addition to all our generous sponsors for their valuable support in the execution of our first-ever national pavilion.

As I rise to present the second budget of the democratic government, I want to thank Allah (SWT) for remarkable mercies He has bestowed on us by giving enormous success to the policies and initiatives we announced in our first budget. This success is the outcome of a democratic process that has allowed people to choose their representatives and they, in turn, are working to achieve their aspirations. 2. When we started our journey, we were facing the most daunting task of repairing a broken economy. We embarked on a very comprehensive agenda of economic reforms aimed to reinvigorate the economy, spur growth, maintain price stability, provide jobs to the youth and rebuild the key infrastructure of the country. Prime Minister Mohammed Nawaz Sharif set a rare example of foresight, courage and political sagacity when he did not shy away from taking painful decisions; decisions that were surely unpopular but imperative for restoringwww.imranghazi.com/mtba economic health of the country. Today, with the blessings of Allah, I say in all humility that we have not only restored the health of the economy but have put it firmly on the path of stability and growth.
