Shehbaz Sharif, who is a joint candidate for the PML-N-led coalition, has emphasized the need for political unity to ensure the economic stability of the country.

"To strive for economic stability, all differences must be set aside. The need for mutual unity for political and economic stability in the country was never felt as strongly before," Sharif was quoted as saying by The Express Tribune,

He said concerted efforts were needed to eradicate poverty, unemployment, and ignorance from the country.

The PML-N president said political stability and a peaceful environment are of paramount importance for foreign investment in the country. 

"Pakistan will only prosper when all its units are prosperous," he said.

The Pakistani politician who earlier served as the PM of the country claimed that in the past, the PML-N had set a shining example of economic progress and stability and that it would take concrete and practical steps to further improve the economy.
