(24News) Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif has said that I congratulate the entire nation on the beginning of the new year 2025. My prayer is that the sun of 2025 will rise with the promise of progress and prosperity for our country Pakistan. It is to make a new beginning by correcting the mistakes of our individual and collective lives of the past year and start a new bright future.
The Prime Minister has said in his message that I am praying that the economic, political and peace and order crises faced by the world in 2024, there will be positive progress to overcome them in the new year. May the new year prove to be the year of ending hunger, poverty, war, terrorism, crimes, sectarianism and class division from the whole world including Pakistan.
He said that the year 2024 was a year of great achievements for our dear Pakistan, our economic indicators improved during 2024. International financial institutions expressed their confidence in Pakistan. Investment agreements worth billions of rupees were signed with friendly and brotherly countries and the work on digitization of the economy began. It is my government’s commitment to provide dimension, promote inclusive growth and achieve sustainable development. Commit to a stable, bright and prosperous future.
The Prime Minister said that the year 2024 has been the worst year in Palestine in terms of Israeli atrocities, in which the Israeli occupying forces have created stories of cruelty that cannot be seen in recent history. In the same way, our oppressed brothers and sisters in Indian Occupied Jammu and Kashmir were victims of the brutality of the Indian occupation forces. I hope that in 2025, Palestine and India’s illegal occupied Jammu and Kashmir will be successful in their struggle for freedom.
He said that in 2024, our brave security forces achieved success against terrorists. In this war against terrorism, the brave soldiers of our security forces sacrificed their lives, whose sacrifices the nation will remember forever.

At the beginning of the new year, let us promise that we will not hesitate to make any sacrifice to make this country the Pakistan of Quaid-i-Azam and Allama Iqbal. This country is the trust of our people, we will unite our blood and sweat in its protection and development.
I pray that 2025 will be a year of good fortune and immense happiness for our nation. Long live Pakistan!
