Islamabad: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has strongly condemned malicious propaganda against the Pakistan Armed Forces, terming it intolerable.

Paying tribute to Major Adnan Shaheed, who recently laid down his life for the country, Shehbaz Sharif praised his sacrifice, saying that his father’s courage was commendable and that the nation is proud of its martyrs.
Highlighting his recent visit to China, the premier described it as highly successful, noting that the business conference held there proved extremely productive.

He stated that MoUs signed with the US will pave the way for new investments.
Shehbaz Sharif also announced the imposition of a climate and agricultural emergency, stating that a comprehensive assessment of flood damages would be completed within a week.
