PM expresses confidence in abilities of Pakistan’s youth

ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Wednesday said that the country’s youth always proved their mettle at the international level whenever provided the right opportunities.

In a tweet, he mentioned his Tuesday’s launch of a youth sports initiative programme aimed at converging the energies of youth towards a positive direction, the official news agency reported.


Shehbaz Sharif expressed confidence that the youth would excel under the patronage of the Prime Minister’s Youth Sports Initiative.

He pointed out the lack of facilities for sportsmen in the country to compete in the games at the international level. The programme would promote sports across the country through the training of talented youth, he added.

The prime minister hoped that future governments would ensure the continuity of the programme in the best interest of the youth.

Shehbaz Sharif on Tuesday launched multiple initiatives for promoting sports culture and welfare of the sportspersons including the Rs5 billion Pakistan Sports Endowment Fund with seed money of Rs5 billion.

The other initiatives included the soft launch of the first dedicated sports university, the Elite Sportspersons Development Programme and the e-sports development programme.
