President Pervez Musharraf said Sunday that he would like to extend his co-operation to the government at the centre and in the provinces with a single objective in mind - the progress and development of the country and welfare and well-being of its people.
He was speaking at a farewell dinner hosted by Caretaker Sindh Chief Minister former Justice Abdul Qadir Halepota for the outgoing caretaker Sindh Cabinet. First Lady Begum Sehba Musharraf, Senate Chairman Mohammedmian Soomro, Sindh Governor Dr Ishrat-ul- Ebad Khan, members of the outgoing Sindh Cabinet, City Nazim Syed Mustafa Kamal were also present on the occasion.
"I will try to contribute my maximum towards achieving the goals or targets wherever my assistance and contribution is required. I would like to extend my co-operation to the government whether they are at the centre or provinces with only one single minded objective in mind - the progress and development of the country and welfare and well-being of its people", he added. President Musharraf said in his definition, the responsibility of any government anywhere in the world was to ensure the security of a nation, its progress and development and welfare and well-being of its people.
"I only wish and hope that the future governments will keep this definition in mind. First and foremost is security of the country from any external or internal threats. The second responsibility is to ensure the progress and development of the nation, all the provinces specially the backward provinces and backward areas.
The third, is the welfare and well-being of its people which included socio-economic development, poverty alleviation, job creation, education and health," he elaborated. "If the government keeps this definition in mind and they are focussed all along this, I am sure, the future of this country will remain bright. Because this country has a lot of resources at its disposal", he noted.
The President said his government has taken Pakistan forward. There is no doubt. If any one is casting aspersions that on the performance, development, progress, poverty alleviation, job creation, is creating doubts which are not true at all, he added.
He said the country (now) needs a political stability and economic development. These two areas are the key for the country to progress, he observed. "We are on a course in the future to combat terrorism with all our strength to ensure the sustainable economic development of the country. Whatever has been achieved needs to be continued and improved. This will be possible if there is a political stability in the country and of course Karachi cannot be divorced. This is what one expects in the future", President Musharraf opined.
