Hamza Shehbaz sees Pakistan becoming Asian Tiger under PM, Field Marshal

Pakistan will move towards becoming an Asian economic powerhouse under the leadership of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, PML-N Vice President Hamza Shehbaz Sharif has said.

Hamza expressed confidence in the country’s future while visiting different areas of his Lahore constituency to meet party workers, offer condolences to bereaved families and inquire about the health of associates.

During his engagements, Hamza visited Gwalmandi to condole the death of Khawaja Ayub’s son. He also visited Mochi Gate and Akbari Mandi following the death of Khawaja Basharat’s brother. In another visit, he offered Fateha at the residence of Hashim Shah, also known as Api Shah, whose wife had passed away. He also inquired about the health of his political secretary Kabir Taj’s mother.

Speaking to those present, Hamza said the government was working towards economic progress and improving the living standards of the people. He expressed hope that Pakistan would achieve significant development milestones in the near future, describing the leadership of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir as central to that ambition.

He added that the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) was making efforts to provide relief to the public and address the concerns of party workers.

Commenting on the security situation, Hamza paid tribute to the security personnel fighting terrorism and expressed determination to eliminate the threat from the country. He also called for a strong response to what he described as Fitna-al-Hindustan.

Hamza’s remarks reflect a broader message increasingly emphasized by PML-N leaders, linking political leadership and military cooperation with Pakistan’s economic recovery and security objectives.

On October 2, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, speaking at a Pakistan Stock Exchange gong ceremony in Karachi, praised Field Marshal Asim Munir as a key partner and expressed hope that their cooperation would continue. He also referred to the country’s economic position, including the reported level of foreign exchange reserves.

Federal Minister Ahsan Iqbal has similarly credited the leadership of the prime minister and the field marshal with strengthening Pakistan’s international standing.

PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif has also invoked the party’s long-standing ambition of restoring Pakistan’s status as an Asian Tiger, a slogan historically associated with rapid economic growth and development.

Hamza’s latest statement reinforces that theme, presenting economic advancement, public relief and counterterrorism as key national priorities. However, the realization of the Asian Tiger ambition will ultimately depend on sustained economic growth, investment, job creation, price stability and improvements in living standards.
