He further explained that when we talk about Pakistan, the prime ministers vision of creation of self reliant nuclear armed state in order to make the country as strong as possible, but due to our lack of technical and professional skills, Pakistan suffered a big setback after the US government withdrew its commitment for building two atomic bombs and it led to the end of relations between Pakistan and U.S. for several decades. After the fall of the Islamic extremism, Pakistan used to face the worst economic crisis in its history since independence of the country in 1947. Now this situation has drastically changed because as now, the focus of the federal government is directed towards improving technical and professional skills among the masses to make them self dependent states, concluded the prime minister.
