LONDON: Joint statement of Nawaz-Bilawal London meeting was issued after two days on Saturday in which both the leaders agreed to work closely for the betterment of Pakistan.
PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif and PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari met in London on Thursday to discuss ways forward after the ousting of Prime Minister Imran Khan by no-trust motion.
The joint statement issued today said that during the meeting both leaders agreed that they have accomplished a great deal whenever they work together, the statement said, adding that it was resolved that at a crucial crossroads in history the imperative to work together to rebuild the country was seriously needed.
Matters relating to the broad roadmap for the future with the consensus of all democratic forces and the unfinished business left on the “Charter of Democracy” were also discussed in the meeting.
“It was also agreed that high-level summitry is needed to brainstorm the path ahead for a new charter,” read the statement.
It further said that there was a strong realization that the people of Pakistan have suffered greatly from the “disastrous economic mismanagement and unprecedented incompetence of the PTI government”, all of which need to be addressed and repaired.
Joint goals will focus on reversing in phases the drastic economic slide that Imran Khan has taken the country down on, the terrible blunders and self-serving trade-offs on foreign policy, as well as healing the deep scars from assaults made on the country’s democratic system, read the joint statement
The PPP leader went to London earlier this week to have discussions with the PML-N leadership after the formation of the government following the ouster of the Imran Khan through a no-confidence motion.
