Pakistan will work to have "best relations" with all its neighbours and hold talks to normalise ties as without it peace cannot be brought in the country, new Prime Minister Imran Khan has said in his maiden address to the nation.
In his over hour-long address to the nation yesterday, a day after his swearing in as the country's 22nd prime minister, Khan identified Pakistan's challenges on economic front, promised sweeping reforms to bring austerity and revive stagnant economy.
The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chief lashed out at the previous PML-N government for current debt crisis which has risen to Rs 28 trillion, saying the country had not been as indebted in its entire history as it has been in the last ten years.
Speaking on Pakistan's foreign policy, 65-year-old Khan said Pakistan will work to have "best relations with all neighbours."
