Due to being one of the most affected countries in the world due to global climate change, special security arrangements based on advanced methods are very necessary for Pakistan and yesterday, an important and desirable progress in this direction was made by Pakistan to deal with natural disasters. And Switzerland has come into effect in the form of mutual agreement.
In this context, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif while addressing the signing ceremony of the Memorandum of Understanding with the Swiss Foreign Minister and Federal Consul Ragnaziokas in Nithyagli on Saturday said that Pakistan attaches great importance to its relations with Switzerland, which upholds the fundamental principles of democracy and the rule of law.
He clarified that we have no role in climate change but every possible effort to prevent it is necessary and that is why we need to use Switzerland's expertise and experience in this field. want Highlighting the basic strategy of his government for national development, he said that eradication of poverty, industrialization, promotion of agriculture, making women talented are our important priorities and we will meet Switzerland in the promotion of tourism, education and other sectors.
On this occasion, the Prime Minister invited Swiss companies to invest in Pakistan, especially in renewable energy and IT sectors. He expressed the hope that the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding to deal with natural disasters will promote cooperation between the two countries and in the future, through new methods and technology to deal with disasters, Pakistan will be able to cope with the disasters caused by climate change.
Can be made as safe as possible. Undoubtedly, as a result of the use of such methods of energy production by developed countries, which are increasing the temperature of the earth, developing countries like Pakistan are facing disasters like excessive rains and droughts. Last year, one-third of Pakistan's area was submerged in water due to this situation, so it is inevitable for Pakistan to take all possible measures to prevent natural disasters.
Switzerland is the world leader in the field of tourism and according to the Prime Minister, there was also a useful discussion with the Swiss Foreign Minister on the topic of promoting the tourism sector in Pakistan. The Prime Minister expressed his desire to increase mutual cooperation with Switzerland in all spheres of life, while the Swiss Foreign Minister emphasized the need for global and regional peace and stability in the context of India's belligerent policies.
He clarified that he said that we are determined to use our resources for the development of Pakistan instead of wasting them on wars and the leadership of the other side should also think in the same way. He said that for sustainable peace in this region of the world, we have to clearly understand without any confusion that for this we have to solve our problems including the Kashmir issue because without it peace in this region is not possible.
The rationality of Pakistan's position regarding regional and global peace does not need any explanation and if the international community plays its role effectively for a fair solution to this conflict, positive results can certainly come very soon. It should also make every possible effort to get the support of other developed countries so that the repetition of the horrific events like last years can be prevented as much as possible.
