The report also underlines the growing role of women-led institutions, technology firms like Systems Limited, and foreign-listed companies investing in Pakistan's economy.

'This success is a testament to our ability to defend our sovereignty with unwavering resolve,' he remarked during the Independence Day celebrations at Hazoori Bagh on Thursday where he represented Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif at the main event. The gathering was distinguished, featuring diplomats from Turkey, China, Iran, and the United States, as well as parliamentarians, provincial ministers, senior government officials, civil society representatives, and enthusiastic students from various institutions.
