PM Khan said that the project of Diamer-Bhasha Dam will change the future of Pakistan. He was of the view that the country will be listed among the developed states if such projects were planned 40 years ago.

He expressed hopes that the nationals will witness the positive outcomes of the present government’s ongoing effort for strengthening the economy.
