Bilawal terms Pakistani youth as guarantee of better future
Pakistan
More than 63 percent of Pakistan’s population is in the age group of 15 to 33 years
KARACHI (APP) - Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has termed the Pakistani youth as the guarantee of a better future for the country and said that no power can stop Pakistan from progressing as the youth are determined to face every challenge and lead in every field.
In his message on International Youth Day, he said we are confident that for the development of a prosperous, strong, and progressive Pakistan, our young generation has the potential to lead in the field.
“Pakistan is a fortunate country that more than 63 percent of its population is in the age group of 15 to 33 years. Hence, Pakistan’s greatest asset is our youth,” he pointed out.
Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said that PPP must not miss any opportunity to utilise the talents of the youth for the progress and prosperity of the country and to give them maximum opportunities in this regard.
He reminded that Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, during his tenure as Prime Minister, offered many jobs to the youth, before which the youth did not get jobs in such numbers.
Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto was famous among the people that, “Benazir will come and will bring employment (for all)”.
“Pakistani youth, for the last time in the last three decades, got the most jobs and employment opportunities under the people’s government led by former President Asif Ali Zardari,” he added.
He said that his party is fully aware of the problems and difficulties faced by today’s youth, adding that provision of education and health facilities as well as employment opportunities to the youth is one of the top priorities of the PPP.
Bilawal also supported this year’s theme of the United Nations about International Youth Day, “Green Skills for Youth: Towards a Sustainable World,” and urged that Pakistani youth must play a leadership role in tackling climate change, as their homeland is among the countries most affected by the climate change.
