Information Minister Ataullah Tarar has said that the meeting between Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur is a positive development for the country, adding that if these meetings continue then he could see the country moving towards a solution to its economic problem.

Speaking on Geo News show Capital Talk, Tarar said the Constitution provides the government with a federal set-up of governance which entails close coordination between the provinces and the Centre to work together.

“If the coordination between federal and province is weak then Pakistan will get weak,” he said.

He reiterated what PM Shehbaz said on the floor of the National Assembly regarding the Charter of Conciliation, that the responsibility to fix the country’s economy lay with everyone.
