ISLAMABAD: Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi on Saturday said the government had inherited the trade deficit from the previous governments which would take some time to rectify, ARY News reported.
“It will take some time to remedy the economic deficiencies and the masses will have to bear the discomfort,” he said while addressing a press conference.
Correlating the ailing economy with human illness, the foreign minister said it also takes some time to recover after a doctor gives a patient medicinal prescriptions. It does not happen that a doctor gives a patient medicines and he immediately gets well, he said.
On relations with Afghanistan, Shah Mehmood Qureshi said he will visit Kabul on December 15 and discuss with Afghan leadership parameters for long-lasting peace in the neighbouring country.
He also said accountability process was being carried out across the board.
To a query, the FM said when he last visited Afghanistan, he observed that there was dearth of wheat, while we had abundance of it, so we gifted some to Afghanistan.
