Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting, Marriyum Aurangzeb has said that China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is not just a route but an opportunity to connect national heritage and Pakistani culture with the world. Talking to media persons here at an exhibition on Tuesday, she said that CPEC is an opportunity to take the country to new heights of progress and development, adding that the CPEC will secure the future of youth of the country.
Marriyum Aurangzeb said that provincial governments should join hands with the federal government to portray positive image and national narrative of Pakistan before the world. She said that terror incidents have increased intolerance among the people affecting the country's national narrative, adding it is time to revive cultural, tourism, heritage and sports of the country. Teachers, media persons and other stakeholders should play their due role in this regard, she added.
The minister said that the government is working for preservation and promotion of national heritage of the country. Highlighting the role of media, she said it is media which brings Pakistani tradition and cultural to light. She also acknowledged the role of the media in the war against terrorism.
The minister said that promotion of literary and cultural heritage has become the need of the hour as it is the best way to eliminate intolerance and extremism from the society. She said this year marks the 70th birth anniversary of the country for which the government is implementing a comprehensive plan based on promotion of the national narrative that faded away in the wake of extremism and terrorism. She said little attention has been paid in the past to children-friendly contents on media which led to a dearth of knowledge among the children of the country.
The minister of state said the incumbent government is laying special emphasis on inculcating cultural and literary heritage of the country in the youth. She said Pakistan is the land of diverse culture and appreciated valiant people who have courageously fought with the menace of terrorism over years. Marriyum Aurangzeb said the security situation in the country has significantly improved during the last four years in the wake of incumbent government's policies and sacrifices rendered by the Armed Forces of the country.
