President Zardari, PM Shehbaz vow to build a prosperous, progressive Pakistan – Pakistan

President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Pakistan Day expressed their determination to build a stronger, more prosperous, and progressive Pakistan, according to state-run Radio Pakistan.

In their separate messages, they said the nation has been blessed with immense potential.

President Zardari urged every Pakistani to rise above differences, reject division and negativity, and work together to build a prosperous, inclusive and just Pakistan.

He congratulated the entire nation and said that the same spirit that led to the creation of Pakistan can propel us toward a brighter tomorrow.

The president said the road ahead is challenging, but not impossible.

He said the true strength of Pakistan lies in its people, their resilience, hard work and patriotism that have carried this nation through the toughest of times.

President Zardari emphasised that in today’s world, Pakistan must navigate complex realities, tackle economic pressures, and pursue sustainable development.

Meanwhile, PM Shehbaz said that with the right policies, dedicated efforts, and national unity, Pakistan can achieve economic prosperity, uphold social justice, and secure its rightful place among the nations of the world.

He said this day stands as a defining moment in the history of South Asia’s Muslims.

He said guided by the inspiring leadership of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, they envisioned a state where Muslims could live with dignity, freedom, and self-respect-a land shaped by their aspirations and values.

He said this year Pakistan Day falls in Ramadan, which is a month of deep spiritual reflection, self-discipline, and renewed commitment to faith.

The premier said it is a time that reinforces our collective will and serves as a powerful reminder of the values of sacrifice and perseverance-principles embedded in our nation’s very foundation.
