Pakistan looking for innovation in 3 pivotal domains
Since assuming office in March 2024, the progress and prosperity of people has been the government’s focus, Shehbaz Sharif stressed. The country is looking for innovation in three pivotal domains: artificial intelligence, education and health.
Inspired by Saudi Vision 2030, championed by Prime Minister HH Mohammad bin Salman, the Pakistani leader said his country shared a common mission to invest in their younger population to ensure a better future for everyone.
Speaking about health, PM Sharif noted that Pakistan’s healthcare sector is currently home to more than 275,000 registered doctors. He also stressed that global human advancement could not take place unless peace is brought back to the Gaza strip.
