Minister for Planning and Development Ahsan Iqbal has called upon state institutions to exhibit greater determination in keeping chaos and anarchy far from the country.

Addressing a reception hosted in his honor in Jeddah, he said that every institution of the country will have to ensure that chaos and anarchy cannot be allowed anymore.

The Minister said that the stock market had crossed the seventy thousand points barrier, which was a testimony that the economy was heading in the right direction.

Ahsan Iqbal said Saudi Arabia and other Gulf-friendly countries were going to invest billions of dollars in Pakistan and urging overseas Pakistanis to play the role of ‘sales agents’ while staying there and fill the markets with Pakistani products.
